Private Yacht Cruise on the Bosphorus

At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Istanbul and head to the Bosphorus Strait for a pleasant yacht ride. Did you know that this area connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara? It's also the natural border between the continents of Europe and Asia!

We'll sail aboard a luxurious yacht that has a lounge and a deck with sofas where you can sunbathe peacefully. You'll feel like a real celebrity! As we cruise along the banks of the Bosphorus, we'll see everything from incredible mansions and palaces to traditional neighborhoods with a much more humble character.

During the yacht ride, we'll also pass the famous Bosphorus Bridge, a colossal structure that hangs 210 ft (64 meters) above sea level! Nearby are also the Blue Mosque, the Maiden Tower, and other iconic monuments of Istanbul.

After 2 hours of sailing, we'll arrive back at the port of departure and take you to your hotel.

Options

When booking, you can opt for a private yacht tour with or without a guide. If you choose to be accompanied by a guide, you'll learn many curiosities about the different places you'll see on board. If you prefer going without a guide, you'll simply go with the captain.
