A really lovely way to see Istanbul from the Bosphorus. So happy we choose the smaller more intimate boat. Captain and staff were very welcoming and gave a good commentary as we motored along. And it was just the right length!

We would like to thank the waiter who served us for the excellent service. He was very polite, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed. Thanks to him, we had a very pleasant experience on a yacht with a beautiful view.

This would be a great cruise if you are a smoker, which I am not.. There is no designated smoking area and lots of people were smoking all over the ship, upwind from other passengers. In fact, I felt like I had smoke in my face the whole time, no matter where I moved. Even the captain and crew smoked unabatedly upwind from guests. This pretty much ruined the beauty of the experience. Otherwise the information given, and music played was fine. The food seemed okay, but I lost my appetite from all the smoking. Seriously, if you are going to allow smoking, have a designated area at the back of the boat.

The sunset cruise was the perfect ending to our trip. The boat is spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff was friendly. The sights are spectacular, of course. The snacks included a fruit plate, and a plate with small pastries and biscuit. We had two drinks, and there was bottled water as well. I highly recommend it. Great value for the price.

"This was a great tour on the Bosphorus. The meeting place was easy to find and the boat was very clean, comfortable, and not too crowded. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the sights along the Bosphorus. He also had a good sense of humour!
The snacks and drinks provided were great. There was an option to buy alcohol on board too if you wanted. Prices seemed reasonable.
The stop in Kanlica is quite short but there's not a lot to see/do, so it's fine. We bought the kanlica yogurt and some ice cream. The guide took us to a place he recommended and they were ready to serve up the yogurt/ice cream very quickly, so i recommend following the guide rather than getting your own!"

Smooth sailing from Kabatas to Rumeli Castle and back. I booked just a few hours before, no problem. There were about 20 people in total and still plenty of room. Most of the sites you'll see and have explained are on the European side. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The snacks (nuts and fruit) plus tea were filling. The value for the price is worth it.
