Istanbul is much more beautiful with us
Everything from the beginning till the very end was absolutely perfect! There was nothing , I would change or complain about. The staff and owner were very helpful , understanding, kind and they really do know their job. Me and my family liked the trip and boat so much, that we booked it again for the next day and had an amazing experience. It was my mother’s birthday and everyone did their best to make this day special. So I’m very thankful for such a pleasing experience. Would definitely recommend it and will come back again!

10 Person Motor Yacht Rental in İstanbul, Turkey
This was a great boat. We would 100% book again. The crew were helpful and friendly and our trip was excellent. We rode up the Bosphorus and docked about 2/3 of the way to the Black Sea to swim, eat, and nap.

Luxury Passenger Boat for 120 People in İstanbul
Recep did a fantastic job organising our experience. Communication was great, the boat was as described and everything went exactly to schedule. I had to make some last minute changes with additional arrangements for our guests and Recep and his team had everything arranged for us. Excellent service.
