Luxurious Motor Yacht Charter for Daily Excursions in İstanbul
We had a 3 hour sunset cruise with Faruk and his team. We were a party of 3 adults and a 5 year old boy. As it was our anniversary, we asked Faruk to serve us dinner on the boat. Not only he was able to accommodate this request, but they also decorated the boat with balloons and set the table in a very special way. His team also entertained our son to allow the adults to have some alone time. Thank you so much for a great and memorable experience!

My yacht experience exceeded every expectation! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew's warm hospitality and professionalism set the tone for an unforgettable day. The yacht itself was well maintained. Cruising along the Istanbul coastline, we were treated to breathtaking views. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and they set up decor for us. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience
