Perfect first evening in Istanbul

On our first evening in Istanbul we went for a pre dinner cruise. The boat was spacious and clean. The captain presented us with a large blue tooth speaker so that we could play our own music during the cruise. The Bosphorus was beautiful and relaxing. It would have been nice if someone (either the captain or the one crew person) spoke English to inform us about what we were seeing however we still enjoyed the trip. We stayed at the Four Seasons Bosphorus and they arranged cruises for 850 euros.The boats that came to the hotel were newer but much smaller. When we realized how much larger our boat was, we felt like we got an incredible deal.

Our team works hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and memorable experience for every guest, and it's great to know we succeeded with you. Cruising between Europe and Asia, with views of iconic landmarks like Dolmabahçe Palace and the Bosphorus Bridge, is always special—but hearing how magical it felt for you makes it even better for us. We're also glad the refreshments, timing, and atmosphere met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot, and we would love to welcome you back aboard any time in the future!

The person coordinating the excursion was very nice BUT The boat in the picture is NOT the one we went on. We went on an old raggedy boat and the two captains were polite but did not say a word to us the entire time because they didn’t know English or Spanish. So it wasn’t a tour or was there any communication of any kind and the boat was way off the one in the picture

Operator response

hank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize that your tour did not meet your expectations. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the boat you were on did not match the photos you had seen and that there was a lack of communication during the trip. Your feedback is very important to us, and we take it seriously. We always aim to provide a consistent and high-quality experience to all our guests, and it's clear in this case that we fell short. We would love the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly with the details of your booking so we can investigate what happened and offer a resolution. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention—we value your input and are committed to improving.

It was a very nice cruise when I visited Istanbul with my wife. We loved feeling the Bosphorus on a great yacht which is very clean and nice looking. The boat captain was very kind and helpful. The reservation and communication process was so easy. I recommend everybody to take a yacht cruise if you want to have a nice experience and get the most pleasure of you can.
