Hey Everyone. We will all meet in Karakoy marina near Galata bridge and board the yacht starting in the Golden Horn. This tour is specifically for people who are looking to capture some of the most epic sunsets on Earth. We will cruise both the European and Asian coasts of the Bosphorus seeing many beautiful Palaces, Bridges and famous Pasha Mansions. I will share many fun facts about the history of the city as we enjoy music and wine. I will make sure to take some epic pics for everyone. Guests have the option to upgrade to a professional photographer. Ask for more details. We also have soft drinks, tea, water and a restroom on board. Sunset time is the hardest time to find a good yacht so we ensure only the best captains, yachts, guides and overall experience for our guests. The total time on the Bosphorus is about 2 hours give or take 10 mins for boarding and exiting. We will begin and end in the same location as we started. Meet cool travelers from around the world, learn about the Bosphorus and take some epic sunset pics during the golden hours of the Bosphorus. If you are looking for a unique experience with epic energy and visuals then look no further and book this experience.
