This Yacht cruise on the Bosphorus in Istanbul was one of the highlights of our week. The yacht was beautiful and accommodating. The staff was incredible with excellent information shared from the tour guide throughout the experience. There were good snacks provided along with water and juice and the opportunity to purchase wine and other drinks. The small group was great. We were blessed with beautiful weather and a gorgeous sunset. It was all fabulous.

What a wonderful cruise! Boat was perfect - only about 30 onboard. We were on upper level / half inside, half outside making for excellent photo ops. Staff wonderful - special shout out to Emre and Nahad. Emre served the perfect amount of light snacks and drinks. Emre shared history & details on the sights as we passed them. Very laid back & relaxed. Excellent views. Truly the perfect Bosphorous cruise.
