Highly recommend!
An absolute highlight of our trip to Istanbul! The private yacht tour on the Bosphorus was smooth, luxurious, and the views at sunset were breathtaking. Highly recommend!

Bi-continental View of Istanbul
Very nice boat, just the right size not to feel like a cattle call. Crew was personable. The tour of Istanbul from the viewpoint of the Bosporus really not to be missed. Overall excellent experience.
