Step aboard a luxury yacht at Kabataş Pier at 13:00 and set off on a scenic Bosphorus cruise along Istanbul’s European shoreline, accompanied by your local guide throughout the experience. Relax as you pass iconic landmarks such as Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, and Rumeli Fortress, enjoying light snacks and panoramic views along the way.

During the cruise, discover the tradition of Turkish coffee with a live demonstration onboard. Learn from your guide about its Ottoman heritage, preparation rituals, and cultural role, then enjoy freshly brewed coffee served with Turkish delight.

After reaching the second bridge, the yacht turns toward the Asian side, passing elegant waterfront mansions as your guide continues sharing insights about Istanbul’s history and landmarks.

A truly unique experience from beginning to end. The tour opened our eyes to a whole new perspective on coffee, far beyond what we expected. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more special with great storytelling. Everything was well planned and ran smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different.

It was a wonderful tour; we enjoyed a delicious Turkish coffee and the view of the Bosphorus. The guide was very friendly and informative, and they explained the Bosphorus very well. We'll take part again as a family in the summer.
