Our pawed friends are our companions everywhere. In the air, on land and at sea. But most importantly in our hearts! We wanted to introduce Oscar, who accompanies us both in our hearts and in the sea.

His story begins with a separation. Oscar, who is now six years old, had to leave his friend Şila and the house they lived in together when he was only two months old. After the separation, he continues to live in Selimiye for two more years, but he no longer lives on land but at sea. For him, life moves from house to boat.
After two years in Datça and one year in Yalikavak, Oscar's fame spreads. He manages to endear himself in every port where his boat docks, and always leaves with a warm memory.
Our pawed friends are our companions everywhere. In the air, on land and at sea. But most importantly in our hearts! We wanted to introduce Oscar, who accompanies us both in our hearts and in the sea.
Living on a boat is something else for him. Especially going out on deck and letting the wind blow, standing at the end of the gangplank when the boat is at low tide and watching the blue landscape in front of him are the activities he enjoys the most.
Then one day, after his life in the South, Oscar turns his helm to the North and throws himself into Marmara. He has already been Yalova for a year and a half.
As for his duty at Yalova Marina... We can call him the guardian of his pontoon. There is a corner reserved for him on the pontoon. He always greets every boat that passes by. Of course, he also has a red line: he doesn't like to be disturbed while eating. If you are passing by at that very moment and want to say hello, you should wait until the end of the meal.
Like all our pawed friends, he is very sensitive. He cries with his owner and laughs with his owner. He loves a lot and wants to be loved a lot. Maybe Oscar reminds us of the essence of life.
We are very happy to be with him, to see him on the pontoon. We invite you to meet Oscar at the first opportunity. Of course, not at lunchtime!
