Step aboard our elegant 68-foot yacht and sail into the golden hour with a sunset cruise like no other.
Uncover the hidden stories behind Istanbul’s most iconic waterfront landmarks— tales that most tours never tell:
* The $100 million mansion nestled on the shoreline
* The bridge first sketched by Leonardo da Vinci
* A palace featuring a 4.5-ton chandelier
* The James Bond filming location from The World Is Not Enough
* A Muslim mosque designed by an Armenian Christian architect
* A Tower of Prophecy—built to shield a princess
With our onboard audio guide played through the yacht's speakers, every wave comes with a story—and every sight reveals a secret.
Enjoy Turkish baklava, chocolate muffins, and nuts with wine, beer, lemonade or iced tea.
Seats are extremely limited—35 guests per day, this is your exclusive chance to experience Istanbul from the water.
