Adrenaline-Filled Speedboat Tour on the Bosphorus
You meet your captain and board a modern speedboat. You put on your life jacket and set off on a fast and dynamic ride along one of the world's most famous waterways.
Your professional captain takes you between the European and Asian shores of Istanbul. As you pass historic waterfront mansions, elegant coastal residences, palaces, mosques, fortresses and bridges, you are much closer to the water than on large boats. With the Bosphorus breeze and the speed of the boat combined, you see the city from a completely different angle.
Unlike crowded ship tours, the boat is private to you; you choose the departure time and enjoy the tour exclusively with your group. The constantly changing city skyline offers excellent opportunities for photos and videos.
Life jackets and safety equipment are on board, along with complimentary drinks. The route and speed are adjusted by the captain according to weather conditions and sea traffic.
