Yacht Cruises

I had such an amazing time on the Bosphorus yacht tour! The whole experience was just perfect — from the delicious drinks and tasty food to the stunning views all around. The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help and make sure everyone was comfortable. I really appreciated how they helped us take great photos, making the memories even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun evening with great company and beautiful scenery, this tour is definitely the way to go! Highly recommend it! 🌊✨🍹

I really enjoyed the Bosphorus yacht tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information throughout the trip. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the snacks served were very delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend.

Guide was knowledgeable and everyone was very kind and made it a very comfortable journey

On time, well planned and did what they said they would do. Weather was snow and it was great to see Istanbul in the snow

I had the pleasure of taking the Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The yacht tour provided stunning views, from the Old Town to Dolmabahce Palace and Maiden Tower — absolutely breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with fresh snacks, fruits, and drinks provided throughout the journey. A special thank you to Tugba, our guide, whose warmth, energy, and professionalism made the cruise even more enjoyable. She took amazing photos, ensured we were all comfortable, and shared interesting insights about the sights along the Bosphorus. Her kindness and enthusiasm really stood out and added a personal touch to the experience. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul. It’s a perfect way to see the city’s splendor from the water while enjoying great service and a relaxing atmosphere. 5/5 stars!

Our group in the yacht was quite small. So a lot of space to move around and plenty of photo opportunities. Our guide is excellent, giving us very good details of the sights along the way. Overall, the cruise is very comfortable.

This was my activity in Istanbul and loved it. Excellent way to orientate to the city - history, Bosphorus area, and Istanbul in general. Fantastic guide and experience

Private and classy

Very nice sunset cruise, great way to see the Bosphorous. The organisation and communication was prompt and efficient. The yacht was modern and not too crowded. The guide and crew were attentive and informative. Snacks and drinks provided were okay.

Exceed ours expectations . It was an amazing cruise . We really appreciated and recomended!! It was worth!!!

It was really nice experience in Bosporous. It was a sunset cruise and the snacks and drinks were complementary. It was a small group tour in Yacht and would recommend this to anyone.

Excellent well organised trip! Very helpful and informative staff. Very well organised. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed this cruise. Staff friendly and helpful and good commentary. Refreshments served on board and we were well looked after. Just one thing to mention on getting there. The instructions for the meeting place were somewhat chaotic. We had to ask where we were meant to be and were told where and said someone with Valena board would be there - they weren’t. In the end we went to the ticket office and they weren’t about to call Velana when a guy suddenly walked past and they flagged him down. When we got back onto the hotel WiFi later I had a what’s app with a different meeting place. If this had been sent the day before I would have got it. I had no access to the Turkish internet and didn’t get it. Please remember this for tourists and send communications the day before, not on the day which was completely useless for us. I feel we found the boat by luck only.

A wonderful cruise all round. Fantastic guide, stunning boat, excellent food and snacks. Great value.

Truly unforgettable! Watching the sunset while cruising past Topkapi Palace was magical. Crew was polite, helpful, and ensured everything ran smoothly.

Wonderful experience! The yacht was cozy and luxurious at the same time. Great for both family outings and a small group of friends.

I’m so glad we booked this tour! It’s a great way to orient yourself to Istanbul and enjoy going to the Asian side. Lots of snacks!

We had the perfect weather for this spectacular cruise. Our guide was so informative, fun and I learnt so much about Istanbul as we were cruising . An absolute must- do experience while in Istanbul!

Very enjoyable trip in a clean, comfortable, not crowded boat. The refreshments were perfect and very well received and the crew were helpful and well informed. The wee stopover on the Asian side of the Bosporus was what it was. It was very brief but ticked a box and the yoghurt sold by the wee café really was delicious. There was just enough time to buy a pot of yoghurt or an ice cream and then we were off again. The only thing I would change was the music which for me personally, was a bit too loud and obtrusive. Other than that, it was a pleasant way of seeing the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. I would recommend this excursion.

My husband and I and our 2 teenagers took a sunset cruise down the Bosporus. Booking online was easy, we were sent the details of where to meet by WhatsApp and the boat was as described. There were a total of around 30 people on the cruise. On board we were provided with water, orange juice and some snacks including baklava, which was very nice. You could also buy alcoholic drinks. The cruise was a great way to see many of the key sights along the river and helped us get our bearings. We enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend the trip!
