Discover Istanbul from the Deck of a Yacht: A City of Contrasts Like You’ve Never Seen It
Istanbul — a city of contrasts — will reveal a whole new side when viewed from the water. A yacht tour offers a truly unique perspective, and here’s what makes it special:
1. Limited but beautiful route options
Choose between a refreshing swim near the Princes’ Islands or a scenic day cruise along the Bosphorus or Golden Horn. Tours typically range from 2 to 3 hours.
2. Options for every budget
Bosphorus cruises are usually charged by the hour, with rates starting at €150 per hour. The final price depends on the yacht, tour details, and any extras you might want to include.
3. Flexible experience
Just want a relaxing ride? Easy. Prefer a light snack or a fruit platter on board? Done. Want a fully catered meal at sea? Absolutely possible — it’s all up to you.
4. Ideal for any event
From weddings and corporate gatherings to business workshops for 50, 100, or even 300 people — Istanbul has a wide selection of spacious yachts to meet any demand.
5. Year-round availability
Sure, winter swimming might not be for everyone (unless you’re into ice baths), but Bosphorus and Golden Horn cruises are available all year. And don’t worry about the weather — most yachts are equipped with covered decks and shelters, so you can enjoy the views in comfort, rain or shine.
