The ferry from Turkey is fine you can trust Sisa shipping
We have taken the ferry check the detail report from Benbutler under the Omar heading soon a ferry from mersin turkey.
Ben and Jen have posted the info under that link for the Iskerderun Ferry.
Tips
Always take extra food.
Book with Sisa direct and ask for Saba Ipek +90 2164442954 will forward you an E ticket and do an International transfer in USD or if you are british in UK pounds to save the conversion.
Try to pay for some of the seats because if everyone avoids this the company will not be so helpful to overlanders and they may check via you passports which they hold.
No fixer needed in Turkey they you can do everything but do the customs before you go to the dock it is in another place and you cannot get out once they check you in.
Bring extra food and drinks on the Egypt side as you move through customs.
The fixer Eslam (002) 01289220002 given by Ben in Egypt is excellent do not use Kadmar Agents. Cost about 500 egyptian pounds for his sevice. 2 to 3 days and your have your vehical.
It will take time in Egypt but so do other ports when you enter so try to relax.
.... and have a great time
