Overview

Take your adventure to the next level with one of our luxury private yachts! Our cruises are completely private and you have the freedom to plan your personalized experience from start to finish. You can have your cruise at any time or date. Our private yachts are far more convenient and enjoyable than public cruises because you don't have to deal with other tourists or stay on a crowded cruise. Bring your friends, family and closest loved ones to make your yacht trip a truly memorable experience. You can celebrate your special days. With this three-hour luxury private yacht tour, you will be able to see the most popular monuments of Istanbul from the sea. During your tour, an audio guide will tell you what you are seeing and will tell its history. The yacht will stop at important points on the Bosphorus for you to take amazing photographs from the deck. Our crew can help you to take group photos in the Istanbul scenery too. We serve snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for free.

What To Expect

1. Dolmabahce Palace Dolmabahce Palace stands on the European shore of the Bosphorus and the with its various dependencies forms almost a little town, its gardens extending for a mile or more along the water's edge.

2. Ciragan Palace is situated between Besiktas and Ortaköy on the European shore of the Bosphorus stands the ruins of the Ciragan Palace, built by Sultan Abdülaziz, during the years 1863-1867. It resembles the Dolmabahce Palace with its long facade and its baroque architectural style.

3. Ortakoy Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Büyük Mecidiye Camii in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, Turkey, is situated at the waterside of the Ortaköy pier square, one of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus.

4. Bosphorus Bridge Which was inaugurated on October 29, 1973 on the fiftieth anniversary of the Turkish Republic, has the longest span in Europe and the fourth in the world. This suspension bridge has a total length of 1560 metres (1706 yards) and a width of 33.4 metres (110ft).

5. You will see Ottoman architecture and waterfront houses.

6. Rumeli Fortress RUMELISHISARI FORTRESS - (RUMELIHISARI CASTLE) At the narrowest point of the Bosphorus stands the Rumelihisarr Fortress, built by Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror on the European shore. The Sultan himself on the 26th day of March 1452 laid the foundation stone of the Fortress with a view to controlling the passage of the ships through the Bosphorus and using it as a base for his attack on the city.

7. Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, also known as the Second Bosphorus Bridge, is a bridge in Istanbul, Turkey spanning the Bosphorus strait. When completed in 1988, it was the 5th-longest suspension bridge span in the world; today it is the 24th.

8. Kanlica Meydani Kanlıca is a neighborhood on the Asian side of the Bosphorus strait, in the Beykoz district of Istanbul Province, Turkey. Kanlica is known for its popular specialty, yogurt topped with castor sugar, offered in local restaurants and cafés.

9. Anadolu Hisari Fort On the opposite bank stands the Anadoluhisari Fortress by the Göksu stream. This romantic castle which adorns the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus was built in 1395 by Sultan Bayazit, the Thunderbolt and named as "Güzelcehisar". Later it was extended by Mehmet, the Conqueror. Today, as the first possession of Turks on the Bosphorus, it serves as the landmark of Turkish rule.

10. Kucuksu Pavilion The summer Palace of Kucuksu, sometimes called the Palace of Göksu, is situated between the villages of Anadoluhisan and Kandilli on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus.

11. Beylerbeyi Palace The palace was built by Sultan Abdulaziz in 1865. It is the most extravagant royal house on which millions were spent. It is a white vision of a fairy tale and is situated between Kuzguncuk and Cengelköy.

12. KIz Kulesi Maiden’s Tower is 180 meters away from shores of Üsküdar. The tower has two different names in that of Maiden’s and Leander’s Tower. The Europeans named it after wrongly thinking Leander drowned here while attempting to swim to Aphrodite.
