Overview

Take your adventure to the next level with one of our luxury private yachts! Our cruises are completely private and you have the freedom to plan your personalized experience from start to finish. You can have your cruise at any time or date.

Our private yachts are far more convenient and enjoyable than public cruises because you don't have to deal with other tourists or stay on a crowded cruise. Bring your friends, family and closest loved ones to make your yacht trip a truly memorable experience. You can celebrate your special days.

With this three-hour luxury private yacht tour, you will be able to see the most popular monuments of Istanbul from the sea. During your tour, an audio guide will tell you what you are seeing and will tell its history.

The yacht will stop at important points on the Bosphorus for you to take amazing photographs from the deck. Our crew can help you to take group photos in the Istanbul scenery too.

We serve non-alcoholic beverages for free.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
