Great experience cruising the Bosphorus for sun set. The boat was well maintained and comfortable, with attentive staff. We went early April so was a bit cold, especially as sun starts to go down so recommend bringing a very warm jacket. Overall really great experience and highly recommend.

Thanks to our guide on the Boat - Tuba. She was amazing and very hospitable. We had a friend who has mobility issues with her leg but she made sure she was comfortable and when she wanted to move she offered to help as well. Very kind and real Turkish hospitality! We had quite a lot of fruit, nuts and we could get tea. There was a really nice vibe on the boat. You could use the audiotour if wanted but you could also just walk around the boat and enjoy the sunset. There was really nice music on as well - with a great speaker for an even nicer experience/ vibe. Thank you team and especially Tuba for this great experience.

Full description

Istanbul is a city situated across two continents, with the Bosphorus Strait serving as a defining feature. This strait is one of the main attractions, and no visit to Istanbul is complete without a boat trip along its waters.

From the deck of our snow white yacht, you will have the opportunity to behold nearly all of Istanbul's major landmarks: Dolmabahce Palace, Topkapi and Chiragan Palaces, Sultan Suleiman Mosque, the city's main bridge—the Bosphorus Bridge—and, of course, the famous Maiden Tower.

Prepare to immerse yourself in unforgettable experiences and savor the unique views of Istanbul that unfold before you along the Bosphorus.

we had a great cruise today, the shore based team lead by Hagi made sure we caught the boat after our taxi driver was navigational challenged. Once on board we were looked after by Tugba who was very helpful and attentive, nothing was to much trouble. Tugba did everything she could to make the cruise memorable. I would recommend this cruise.
