Very comfortable and scenic

This was an enjoyable lunch cruise. 30 guests or so made the accommodations relaxing and enjoyable. Everyone had personal space. The dining room and food was nice and the crew appeared happy to have us. The guide added much color and information to the 3 hour or so trip. Date of experience: July 17, 2022

Fabulous experience

This was a wonderful experience for my party, first time in Istanbul. It was cold weather with a bit of sun, so we had blankets which were so cosy! I definitely recommend this for anyone, especially in warm weather. If I come to Istanbul again, I will definitely do this again. My only complaint is that the food was not good at all, barely edible. Luckily we had unlimited soft drinks so we just drank Fanta through the pain Date of experience: March 26, 2022

Must do when in Istanbul. Sinan's GREAT!!

Sinan was a great tour guide and his crew was spectacular.

Yacht was private to only a few people and open to explore and take pictures.

Food was good and we would definitely recommend.

Two day trip Istanbul. Best Part.

First time in istanbul. Great sights, great vibes, it was a party, they let you choose your own music and we made friends with some of the other guests. Overall I'd say it was a Fast Five on the Fast and Furious scale. Good times all around.
