Here’s an overview of your tour
The Bosphorus is the life that runs through Istanbul, it's what keeps it alive and connected! And once you are in Istanbul, there's no better way to see the city than on a cruise along this beautiful strait!
All aboard! Hop on a private motor yacht with me and cruise through the Bosphorus. Your journey will take you through the southern part of this waterway where I will tell you all about the stories of its houses, legends and Istanbul's elite as we make our way to the north. So be sure to settle in with a glass of Turkish tea as the locals do!
Set your eyes on the beautiful palaces, "yalis" (waterfront mansions), the fortresses and picturesque villages. The refreshing breeze of the Bosphorus will be accompanying us the entire time.
You can do this private experience at any time! Morning, afternoon or during the breathtaking sunsets of Istanbul. Let me your preferences and I will personalize the experience the way you want. See you!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a 90 minutes experience on a luxury yacht, since the yacht is being booked for the time period you desire at the time of booking, the experience may not be extended if you arrive later than the determined meeting time. This is why I kindly ask you to arrive our meeting point on time to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
