Very pretty way to spend an evening. I’d do it again. It was windy the evening we went. The crew had blankets for passengers on the bow.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are glad that the windy weather didn't stop you from having a very pretty evening on board. Our crew always tries their best to keep everyone cozy and comfortable with our blankets on the bow. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back on a calmer or equally beautiful evening soon!
It was an amazing! The guides were really good and the boat was not crowded which made the experience even more special. Also you have the opportunity to take a look to all the places around Bosforo, the landmarks, diversity and see how Istambul is huge.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time and enjoyed the spacious comfort of our boat. Istanbul is indeed a massive, beautiful city, and seeing its landmarks from the Bosphorus is truly magical. Our guides will be so happy to hear your compliments! We hope to welcome you back on board on your next visit to Istanbul! 🌊🚢
The experience is amazing. The atmosphere is very lively with lovely traditional music playing when the guide isn’t giving helpful information on the areas, historic context and a few jokes. There was around 25-30 people on board, and the boat could comfortably accompany all of us. The staff are good, offering free Turkish tea, baklava and biscuits, and a small fruit platter. The tour length depends on the time of year but in August is from 6:30-8:30, and is €60 per person for a shared cruise, but if you book private is €700. The cruise us relaxed and is great for families, couples and solo travellers.

Beautiful sunset walk through the Bosphorus on a comfortable yacht. Great service, treats, information as you travel (too bad it's only in English, but it was clear)

It could be a portion of snacks per person.
