Hey everyone!
If you're passionate about history, nature, photography, and meeting fellow travelers from around the world, our experience is perfect for you. Join us for a scenic cruise along the breathtaking Bosphorus, where you'll be enchanted by majestic palaces, iconic bridges, and captivating stories of its rich history.
As we cruise, indulge in a spread of chips, nuts, and wine while enjoying music and engaging conversations. We'll provide unique fun facts about the sites we pass, including glimpses of opulent waterfront mansions. From the legendary Ciragan Palace to gliding beneath the Bosphorus Bridge, our journey explores both the European and Asian coasts, creating unforgettable memories along the way. We'll also capture stunning photos for you to cherish, sharing them at the end of our adventure. Just a heads up, we'll need about 10 minutes for drop-off and pick-up.
Feel free to bring along any extras you fancy, whether it's your favorite drinks or special requests. Operating primarily from Karakoy Marina, near the Galata Bridge, we're excited to welcome you aboard for an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Meet your Host, John

Hey there, I'm John, originally from SF, California, now calling Istanbul, Turkey, home for quite some time. With strong roots in Turkish culture through my mother's side, I consider myself a true local and an authority on all things related to Turkish culture, Istanbul nightlife, and the city's landscape. Fluent in both languages, I find that my bilingualism greatly enhances my understanding and connection with the community. Teaming up with my old friend and business partner Mert, an experienced travel agent and fellow local, we bring a wealth of expertise in logistics and communication to ensure smooth sailing for all our guests. It's thanks to your support that we've earned the title of top-rated experience hosts in Turkey. We deeply value the trust and loyalty of our guests and community.
At our core, we're all about sharing, caring, inspiring, and connecting. We can't wait to welcome each and every one of you to our experiences. (AST Travel Agency / TURSAB A-805) licensed.

This is a must when visiting Istanbul! We had a really lovely evening on the boat and our guide, Mert, was super fun and informative. The cruise along the Bosphorus was just beautiful and you go past so many gorgeous buildings that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. Mert told us all about the history and landscape which added colour to our trip. It was a very nice atmosphere and we enjoyed trying the Turkish wine.

We really enjoyed the tour! It was really cool to get to see the different coastal architecture and hear the history behind it. Chatting with new people from different cultures also made the experience unique and fun. Would highly recommend! Thanks John!

We had a wonderful yacht tour on the bosporus! Small group, feels very personal and a lot of interesting stories about the sights and places. The yacht was comfortable and we enjoyed the wine. We also got a lot of valuable tips on what to do and where to go in istanbul. Thanks again for that! I definitely recommend booking this tour while you’re here :)
