Which Bosphorus Tour Is Right for You?
Quick answer: if you want the lowest per-person price, take the Sunset Group Tour (€34, shared). If you want the boat entirely to yourselves, book a private sunset cruise or private charter from €150/hour. Here is the full picture:
| Tour | Price | Duration | Boat | Best for |
| Sunset Group Tour | €34 per person | 2 hours, daily | Shared, max 25 guests | Couples, solo travellers, budget-minded groups |
| Private Sunset Cruise | From €150/hour (min. 2h) | You decide | Whole boat yours | Romantic evenings, small celebrations, photographers |
| Private Yacht Charter | From €150/hour (min. 2h) | 2–8+ hours | Whole boat yours | Families, day cruises, swimming stops, custom routes |
| Yacht Party & Events | From €150/hour + extras | You decide | Whole boat yours | Birthdays, bachelorette parties, corporate events |
| Marriage Proposal | Custom package | Typically 2–3 hours | Whole boat yours | The question that needs the right backdrop |
Shared or Private — the Honest Trade-off
The shared group tour is run by our sister brand Bosphorus Sunset from Karaköy: fixed departure time, live guide, up to 25 guests. You cannot choose the route or the music, and that is exactly why it costs €34 instead of €300. The private options depart from Karaköy, Kuruçeşme or Bebek, the boat is entirely yours, and everything — route, timing, food, music — bends to you.
What Is Included in Private Charters
The hourly rate covers the yacht, captain and crew. Food, drinks and decoration are arranged separately, so you only pay for what you actually want. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure — see the FAQ.
