Details

Enjoy a morning walk along the Bosphorus aboard a comfortable yacht, where scenic views are paired with a traditional Turkish breakfast served on board.
The route begins near the Sea of Marmara and continues along both the European and Asian coastlines, offering beautiful panoramas of Istanbul in the early hours of the day.

During the cruise, you will see many of the city’s best-known landmarks from the water, including Hagia Sophia, Süleymaniye Mosque, the Maiden's Tower, Galata Tower, Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahçe Palace, and Beylerbeyi Palace.
The route also passes the historic fortresses of Rumeli Fortress and Anadolu Fortress before reaching the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, where the yacht turns back toward the departure port.

On board, a dedicated host ensures your comfort throughout the cruise, serving breakfast, assisting with drinks, and creating a pleasant start to the day.

It can hardly be called an excursion. There was no tourist information. Rather, it was a trip along the Bosphorus, in which we had a very nutritious breakfast, a pleasant atmosphere, and excellent musical accompaniment. All the team members are very friendly. If you have free time in Istanbul, I recommend you to visit.

I really liked the breakfast on the Bosphorus, the friendly team , all the amenities, a round-trip transfer was provided. everything was very punctual, the breakfast was incomparable , not limited in the literal sense, the views are gorgeous, live music , the only wish , the voiceover of iconic places on the coast so that we know what we see . Thank you so much for the positive emotions.
