Read the full tour details

This shared Bosphorus sunset cruise is designed for families, couples and small groups who want an approximately two-hour golden-hour experience without a full dinner programme.

The outward route normally follows the European shore past Dolmabahçe and Çırağan toward Ortaköy Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge. Weather, Bosphorus traffic and the available sailing window may change the northern turning point.

The return changes the view toward the Asian shore and Maiden's Tower before finishing in the confirmed Karaköy meeting area. A live English-speaking guide narrates the route as conditions allow.

Tea, Turkish coffee, iced tea, house lemonade, seasonal fruit juice, bottled water, mixed nuts, salted crackers and fresh fruit are served. The Wine package additionally includes two glasses of wine per guest.
