What to expect

  1. Istanbul
    30m
    Guests are picked up from central hotels in Taksim, Sultanahmet, Karaköy, and Fatih areas by vehicles. During the transfer, our guide provides brief information about the evening program before heading to the pier.
  2. Pass by
    Guests board the yacht at Unkapanı Cibali Pier. A welcome cocktail is served, and after a short introduction by the crew, the boat sets sail for a magical night along the Bosphorus. The evening begins with live music as the illuminated skyline of Istanbul comes into view.
  3. Galata Koprusu
    Pass by
    The yacht sails under the iconic Galata Bridge. Guests can admire the dazzling lights of Galata Tower on one side and the Historical Peninsula on the other — offering a perfect photo opportunity.
  4. Dolmabahce Palace
    Pass by
    Located on the European shore, Dolmabahçe Palace shines brilliantly at night. Once the residence of Ottoman sultans, it stands as one of the most elegant architectural landmarks of Istanbul.
  5. Ortakoy
    Pass by
    Situated right beside the Bosphorus, Ortaköy Mosque is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks. With the 15 July Martyrs Bridge rising majestically behind it, the view is nothing short of breathtaking.
  6. 2h
    As the yacht passes beneath the bridge, guests enjoy the stunning LED light show that illuminates the entire Bosphorus. The scene beautifully connects the continents of Europe and Asia.
  7. Bebek Sahili
    Pass by
    These elegant coastal districts are famous for their historic wooden mansions and lively atmosphere. The yacht slows down here, allowing guests to enjoy the charming scenery accompanied by soft background music.
  8. Rumeli Fortress
    Pass by
    Built by Sultan Mehmed II before the conquest of Constantinople, this historical fortress dominates the narrowest point of the Bosphorus. The guide shares fascinating facts about its strategic importance.
  9. Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge
    30m
    The second bridge of the Bosphorus is admired for its impressive structure and lighting. The reflection of the bridge lights on the water creates a magical moment for photography lovers.
  10. Anadolu Hisari Fort
    Pass by
    Located directly opposite Rumeli Fortress on the Asian side, Anadolu Hisarı is a smaller yet historically significant structure. Together they form the “Twin Fortresses” of the Bosphorus.
  11. KIz Kulesi
    Pass by
    As the yacht approaches this legendary tower, guests are treated to a panoramic view of the Istanbul skyline. When the clock strikes midnight, the New Year’s fireworks light up the sky around the tower — a truly unforgettable sight.
  12. 30m
    After the celebration, the yacht slowly returns to the pier while guests enjoy the final views of the illuminated city.
