## Summary

Private yacht cruise designed around cruise ship port call times at Galataport. Flexible 90-minute to 2.5-hour route covering Dolmabahçe, Ortaköy, Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress and Maiden's Tower. From €280 per boat (up to 12 passengers) — timing adjusted to your ship's departure.

## Description

A Bosphorus cruise built around your ship's port call

If you're in Istanbul for the day on a cruise ship, the main problem is time. The ship docks at Galataport in the morning and leaves late afternoon. You've got maybe seven or eight usable hours, and everyone tries to fit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and the Bosphorus into it. Most people do two of those and miss the water.

This is a private yacht charter designed for that exact constraint. It's not a group tour — it's your own boat, picked up directly from Galataport, with a flexible duration (usually 90 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on your port window), and a route that hits the essential Bosphorus landmarks in a condensed loop: Dolmabahçe, Ortaköy Mosque, the Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, and Maiden's Tower on the return.

The boat is private so timing is yours. Leaving earlier than your booked return? We adjust. Want a brief photo stop in front of Ortaköy Mosque? That happens. The captain knows exactly how much time you have and works back from your ship's departure.

Who this is for: cruise passengers — individual, couple, or small group up to 12 — who want the Bosphorus experience without the group-tour schedule. If you have more time, the shared sunset cruise (€34/person) is cheaper. This option exists because that one doesn't work around cruise ship timings.

Practical: share your exact port window at booking. Soft drinks and light snacks included. If you want to add a quick Old City drive-by (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque exteriors) before or after, that can be arranged.
