Planning a yacht tour? Your first decision is timing. Is the weekend's energy or the weekday's calm more your style?
One of the first questions that comes to mind when planning a yacht tour is: which day is better? Is the lively vibe of a weekend more appealing, or do you crave the calm rhythm of a weekday? Let's explore the differences so you can choose what fits you best.
📌 Note: Yacht rental services on the Bosphorus are available every day of the week. What matters most is picking the right time for your expectations and plans.
Weekends: Social, Lively, and Full of Energy
On weekends, the Bosphorus reflects the city's tempo. There's more boat traffic, piers are busier, and the shoreline is full of life. But this very intensity makes the privacy of your own yacht even more distinct. Escaping the crowds by sailing on your private deck creates a contrast that feels truly special.
🎁 Bonus: Saturdays are especially popular for events like marriage proposals, birthday parties, or group celebrations.
Weekdays: Peaceful, Quiet, and Truly Personal
Weekday cruises tend to be more serene. The Bosphorus is calmer, and the sounds of waves and wind take center stage. With less crowding at the piers, start times can be more flexible. Especially in the morning hours, you'll feel like the city is all yours.
💡 Tip: For photography, early Monday and Wednesday mornings offer ideal light and uncluttered backgrounds.
Do Prices Change Depending on the Day?
With Boğaz Çocuğu, pricing is simple and transparent. Whether it's a weekday or weekend, rates remain the same:

🍳 Breakfast – 1,250 TL / person | 🍽️ Dinner – 1,500 TL / person

So, Which Day Is Right for You?
Weekends are ideal for guests who enjoy vibrant surroundings and social moments.
Weekdays are best for those who seek quiet, intimacy, and a more peaceful Bosphorus experience.
Whether it's for a celebration or a quiet evening with someone special, every day offers its own magic on the water.
