As the old saying goes, "a person is what his name suggests". Latte and Mocha are what their names suggest. Two companions that taste like coffee. Despite being small members of the family, they add excitement to viewing time with their contrasting personalities.

Just as there is no latte without foam, there is no family without Latte. Still dealing with the traumas of infancy, little Latte stretches the safe space he has created for himself on the boat only after thoroughly measuring and weighing the other person, and then he opens the doors of love. Latte, who deserves the term "grumpy yet sweet", likes to sunbathe on the deck during the cruise and makes us relive the traces left on our skin by the coolness on the deck. He is also scared to death if he doesn't appear in photo frames. He tries to avoid getting water on his skin, but most of the time he sips his drink on the surfboard. Mocha, the mischievous mom, loves to swim, never takes her head out of the water, but she doesn't leave Latte alone, often accompanying him on the surfboard.

 

 

Mocha is a mother, a symbol of holiness and mischief. If you come across an upside down food bowl somewhere on the boat, you will know that Mocha has just passed by. Mocha, who has more than one puppy, couldn't behave well again on a Göcek cruise and had to share her love with someone and give birth on the boat. And who is that baby? Latte, of course!

 

 

Observing the owners of Latte and Mocha through a window, one may quickly realize that they have a challenge with limiting their cruising time to 8 hours. This is because the adorable duo never relieve themselves while on board the boat. Even during low tide, the family ensures that Latte and Mocha are brought ashore by boat. In fact, there was a time when the family forgot their boat during a trip and had to venture into the cold November sea to attend to the needs of their little companions, barely making it to land in time.

 

 

Latte and Mocha, who bring vibrancy to the journeys and whose absence is deeply felt, have a special note recorded in the logbook for every place they visit. They also share a never-ending desire for the creation of social living spaces that cater to the needs of all living creatures.

 

 

Together, Latte and Mocha, the two indispensable companions of the family, have become the purest symbol of love and devotion.
