Amazing experience onboard the yacht Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht If there were 6 stars I would give 6 stars. We hired the private yacht for my 50th birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing. We had food, drink, belly dancing, music touring up and down the Bosphorus and a laser show onto the bridge wishing me happy birthday. This tour was exceptional, that staff, organisation and experience was amazing. Thank you for the amazing experience, it made by 50th celebrations very memorable.

Breathtaking Istanbul Views!! Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht My husband and I went on this cruise to get to see Istanbul in a different way and it more than exceeded our expectations. It was not only beautiful but the the staff was extremely nice and made the experience extremely fun!

Best way to watch sunset in Istanbul Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht Must-do activity in Istanbul, especially during the sunset! The atmosphere and the colour of the sky during the sunset in Istanbul is amazing, and watching it in a yacht in the middle of bosphorus was something unforgettable! Highly recommended.

Worth it Bosphorus Sunset Cruise on Luxury Yacht The sunset cruise was good, my friend and I had a lovely time. We met Bugra and his team at Kabatas pier. We were ca. 30 people (young/middle age, mixed group). The group was divided into 2 yacthes. The one we were in was quite modern and well equipped with a big toilet, 2 floors and a spectacular view from the bow. We were provided with blankets, some small snacks like nuts and baklavas, and 1 soft drink - plus we could order extras like wines and beer any time (upon payment). The tour covered the 2 sides of the Bosphorus and it lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. Our guide was friendly, chill, and knowledgeable. 100 euro per person is a bit hefty price, but overall we liked the experience.
