Start with Bosphorus Cruise Istanbul if you want the generic comparison view first. From there, use the sunset cruise for golden-hour views, the dinner cruise for dinner and live entertainment, and Yacht Charter Istanbul for private package-led planning.
Bosphorus Sunset Cruise
Our most popular experience, the Bosphorus sunset cruise departs daily around the golden-hour window and glides past Dolmabahce Palace and Ortakoy Mosque, then returns along the Asian shore with Maiden's Tower in view as the sky shifts from gold to blue. The page is structured around two public sunset options on the same route, with the current live ladder showing from EUR 30 (Mon–Thu) / EUR 34 for Without Wine and from EUR 35 (Mon–Thu) / EUR 40 for the wine-served option.
Bosphorus Dinner Cruise
The Bosphorus dinner cruise currently offers four shared evening packages: Silver Soft Drinks, Silver Alcoholic Drinks, Gold Soft Drinks, and Gold Unlimited Alcohol. The live package ladder currently runs from EUR 40 to EUR 90 per guest.
Yacht Charter Istanbul
For a truly private experience, the yacht charter service in Istanbul is priced per vessel — from €220 per yacht — before guests add meals, drinks, transfers, decoration, performances, or celebration extras. Each yacht in the fleet surfaces its own extras table so pricing stays closer to the actual vessel you book.
Istanbul Boat Tours & Private Hire
Beyond those main options, this catalog also lists sightseeing cruises, private dinners, proposal setups, boat rental, and company events.
