Today’s a sad day for us at Villa Duran Boat as we say goodbye to our assistant of two and a half years, Ismail. We want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks to him for his hard work and dedication over the past two and a half seasons. It is bittersweet to see him go, but we are immensely proud of his new opportunity at the Port Authority in Göcek.

Ismail, your contribution has been invaluable, and your presence on the boat will be deeply missed. Thank you for loving our boys like they were your own brothers. You will always be a part of Team Villa Duran. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and have no doubt that you will excel in your new role.

Thank you, Ismail, and good luck!

Bugün, iki buçuk yıldır bizimle çalışan asistanımız İsmail’e veda ederken hepimiz için üzücü bir gün. İsmail’e son iki buçuk sezondaki emek ve özverisi için içten teşekkür etmek istiyoruz. Gidişi acı olsa da Göcek'teki Liman Başkanlığı'ndaki yeni fırsatından dolayı son derece gururluyuz.

İsmail, katkıların paha biçilemezdi ve yokluğun çok hissedilecek. Çocuklarımızı kendi kardeşlerin gibi sevdiğin için çok teşekkür ederiz. Her zaman Villa Duran Ekibi’nin bir parçası olacaksın. Geleceğin için sana en iyi dileklerimizi sunuyoruz ve yeni görevinde de başarılı olacağından şüphemiz yok.

Teşekkürler İsmail, yolun bahtın açık olsun!
