Detailed Itinerary For this Bosphorus Cruise

This is the quintessential sightseeing tour of Istanbul’s Bosphorus Strait from the water. Start this relaxing boat trip with pickup at your hotel or ship with drop off to the pier. Here you’ll get on the stunning Zoe Yacht, a luxury private motor-yacht of 17 meters long, to take the best Bosphorus cruise possible.

With our friendly crew hosting, you’ll enjoy chilling out in the comfy lounge or up on the 360 degree flybridge terrace offering panoramic sea views. Set off in this beautiful boat alongside the Bosphorus waterfront. In this classic Istanbul cruise you’ll get to see all the best things on both European and Asian Continents.

From the European shore-side, photograph the most famous structures such as the Ciragan and Dolmbahce Palaces, the pretty Ortakoy mosque, two Bosphorus Bridges, Rumeli & Anadolu Castles as well as many small villages with colorful houses along the shore.

All the while, drink something cool from the bar (not included), chat and laugh with your friends, take photos, feed the seagulls, wave to fellow yachts and passing ships… This is a luxury yacht experience with great service for you to enjoy a wonderful day out with family and friends. The boat is private so there’s only you and the crew on board, no strangers or sharing, perfect for privacy, safety and pleasure.

On the return, you’ll discover the delights of the Asian side, passing by unique Ottoman houses, Beylerbeyi & Kucuksu Palaces with fabulous scenery as your motoryacht makes its final way back towards Seraglio Point.

This short Bosphorus cruise finishes on the European side again, where you’ll wave farewell to the crew and get off at the pier. From here our transfer takes you back to your hotel or ship once again.
