Highlights

Bosphorus Strait - The Bosphorus, or Bosporus with its historical name, is a strait and international waterway that separates the continents of Asia and Europe and connects the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. The Bosphorus generally stretches in the northeast-southwest direction and divides the city of Istanbul into the European Side and the Anatolian Side.

The Bosphorus is a gateway connecting Asia and Europe and is 30 kilometers long. It is the point that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. The depth of the Bosphorus is 60 meters on average, and the deepest point reaches up to 120 meters. Its width is very variable due to its distance from the shore, and its widest point is 3500 meters.

In the Bosphorus, there are currents from the Black Sea to the Marmara on the water surface, and from the Marmara to the Black Sea underwater. There are also occasional counter currents on the water surface.

Totally worth it! - Learning about the history and culture of Istanbul. When we travel I like doing guided tours to learn a little bit about the place. I have a teen though and he’s not thrilled about said tours. This was a nice way to sneak one in under the guise of a sunset cruise. The experience from meeting up with the guide to getting in the boat to the actual cruise was really nice. The guide was on time to meet us, the cruise set off on time and the boat was not too crowded. So there was space to move to different parts of the boat to experience different viewpoints. The guide and staff on the boat were really nice too. I also get motion sickness, so a dinner cruise was out of the question, on here though, we were served, nuts, then sweets (the baklava was on point) then fruit and of course some drinks and water. Which was perfect. There was a guided tour along the way which was fascinating and then we stopped to watch the sunset then headed back. All in all a really cool and very laid back experience.

Very good - The yacht has good luxurious seating. The guide and commentary is good. A lot of snacks were served. Good value for money.
