Time on the Bosphorus doesn't pass—it flows. Whether it's brief or extended, every second has it's own rhythm. Choose your pace, let the sea do the rest.
When planning a private yacht tour, one of the first questions is:
"How long should the tour be?"
It's a decision that impacts both your budget and your overall experience.
For some, two hours is more than enough. For others, a slower, deeper journey feels just right.
