The Sunset cruise starts from Kabatas Pier with a nice, decorated luxury yacht, sailing up to the second bridge of the Bosphorus from the European part of Bosphorus Strait. While you are having your drinks with snacks enjoy the panoramic views that you wouldn’t see otherwise, and access excellent photo opportunities of Dolmabahce Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, the Rumeli Fortress, and many more local landmarks.

After reaching the second bridge sail up from opposite direction to the Asian part of Bosphorus Strait. Watch the views of wooden houses and have information about all beautiful spots of Bosphorus from our legendary guide. You are now at Maiden's Tower in the middle of the sea, one of the best iconic points of the Marmara Sea. With this beautiful tower you will have the opportunity to shoot some pictures of the sunset on the Bosphorus.

Get ready to glide through the depths of history in the Bosphorus, the most beautiful place in Istanbul. You will forget all the tiredness of the day with the friendly service we will give you on our boat, which is one of the most beautiful yachts of the Bosphorus.

Get your cameras ready while you get interesting information about history from our experienced and friendly guide, because you will want to take a picture of all the beauties of the Bosphorus.

If you’re on the fence, just book it. It’s super casual and relaxing. They bring out snacks, fruit, and nuts, and you can just hang out with a tea or juice and watch the skyline. It’s a great way to see the sights without all the walking. 100% recommend.
