Overview

See some of Istanbul’s top attractions from the water on this private 1-hour Bosphorus cruise! Sail along the famous Bosphorus Strait that divides Europe and Asia for magical views over the Rumeli Fortress and Dolmabahçe Palace, among other highlights. Sip on a complimentary glass of wine as you glide under the Bosphorus and Fatih Mehmet bridges and have your camera ready to capture the wooden Ottoman villas, mansions and mosques strung along the shores — all made doubly enchanting by the gauzy light of dusk.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Cruise on Bosphorus by Private Yacht?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
