I had a amazing trip with my two teen boys. The yaht is clean, crew are friendly, snacks are delicious and variety of drinks. I highly recommend for family or for business tour!

Felina S.Oct 2026

We had an amazing time! Kayra and his crew were fantastic! They served us everything and kept replenishing it whenever it ran out. The boat was clean and pretty, and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Thank you for such a wonderful experience

Ömer Ç.Sep 2026

Absolutely beautiful experience! The sunset cruise was one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul. The views of the Bosphorus, the skyline, and the city as the sun went down were unforgettable. The boat was comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything was very well organized. A perfect way to see Istanbul from the water. Highly recommended!

Alisa H.Sep 2026

This was an amazing addition to our trip! We did a private sunset dinner cruise. Views were amazing, staff were attentive, and the food was phenomenal! We also asked for a transfer to and from our hotel, which was very efficiently organized.

Marie L.Sep 2026

Very nice sunset cruise on the Bosphorus. The boat slowly goes up the European side to then take its time on the Asian side. The staff is super attentive, we get some history facts along the way, and the snacks make it even better. Definitely worth the trip!

Alexandru S.Sep 2026

Absolutely amazing experience! The sunset boat tour on the Bosphorus was one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul. The views were breathtaking, the atmosphere was fantastic, and watching the sunset over the city from the water was unforgettable. The boat was comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was very well organized. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul, especially at sunset. Definitely worth it!

Fab experience and wonderful service from Kayra and Captain Amir ! Private yacht sailing across the bosphorus and enjoying lovely views of Istanbul and the sunset on the sea.

Ebubekir G.May 2026

One of the best things we did in Istanbul! ✨ Watching the city lights appear while cruising on the Bosphorus was magical. Perfect music, amazing photo spots, and great hospitality by the MerrySails crew. Highly recommend this Golden Sunset Tour to anyone looking for a memorable Istanbul experience! 🚤🌇

“Replied to WhatsApp in 3 minutes flat. That kind of response time is rare on Istanbul cruise operators — and it matters when you're trying to plan an evening from a hotel lobby with patchy wifi.”

“TÜRSAB licensing was important to us — we'd read about unlicensed operators in Türkiye. MerrySails proved their licence on the booking confirmation. Felt safe the whole time.”

“Telegram support since WhatsApp is restricted in Russia — appreciated they thought about that. Russian-language pricing page made the math easy. Great evening on the Bosphorus.”

Igor·cruised 25 Apr 2026

“Perfect first night in Istanbul. The sunset over the bridges was stunning, the guide was warm and knowledgeable, and we loved the snack platter. Worth every cent — and so much less than we'd seen quoted elsewhere.”
