After sunset, step aboard your yacht charter and see Istanbul city flip into night mode. A Bosphorus night cruise puts everything in a new, spectacular light while you enjoy the ultimate yachting and dining experience—both together, no rush.
Moonlight (or a starry sky) sets the scene: waterfront palaces, mosques and bridges sliding by. We glide along the Bosphorus Strait at nightfall, catching secret views you only get from the water. It’s the best of Istanbul, seen in a way very few people expect, honestly.
During your cruise / dinner party, grab a refreshing cocktail from the on-board bar (purchase required). Into fine dining? Check our dinner menus ,hand picked Turkish food and wine. (Dinner is an optional extra; advance reservation is needed).
You’ve got the whole dinner cruise boat to yourselves, so the vibe can be personalized, romantic, or quiet . Stretch out on wrap-around lounge seating, indoors and outdoors. Eat alfresco at the big table on the lower deck, then pop up to the fly-bridge lounge for 360 degree sea views. Simple, but it feels luxe.
Glide on a panoramic Bosphorus night cruise tracing both the Asian and European shores of Istanbul. After dark the city flips a switch—monuments glow, colors shift to warm golden tones, lights twinkle and sparkle, kind of dazzling really. It’s an evening vibe you don’t forget.
You’ll pass icons like Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace, Rumeli Fortress, the Bosphorus Bridge (Bridge I) and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge (Bridge II), plus Anadolu Fortress and Beylerbeyi Palace. And while not exactly on the cruise line, you can catch the background skyline of Seraglio Point—think Topkapı Palace, Haghia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Galata Tower, and the Maiden’s Tower peeking in the distance.
After the cruise, we can drop you at your original pier, near the cruise-ship dock, or you can get off at selected Bosphorus restaurants/bars, venues, and nightlife spots (reservation needed).
