Full-Day Private Yacht Experience – Swim & Explore Princes’ Islands

8 hours

Easy

Set off on a private full-day yacht adventure with swimming in hidden bays, a scenic Bosphorus cruise, and a visit to the Princes’ Islands. Includes hotel pick-up and plenty of time to explore, swim, and soak up the sea.

Get ready for a full-day sea adventure that combines luxury, exploration, and pure escape. This private yacht tour takes you beyond the ordinary—cruising through the legendary Bosphorus Strait with its stunning palaces, mosques, and bridges, before heading into open waters toward the peaceful Princes’ Islands.

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up in a luxury van and transfer to the marina, where your private yacht and friendly crew await. Start your journey with a scenic cruise along the Bosphorus, spotting iconic landmarks on both the European and Asian shores. Then it’s full speed ahead into the Marmara Sea, leaving the city behind as you anchor in a quiet bay for your first swim. Dive into crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on deck, or just take in the sea breeze.

Next, arrive at one of the Princes’ Islands—either Büyükada or Heybeliada—where you’ll have free time to explore on foot or by bike. Wander through car-free streets, discover local cafes, or stroll along the waterfront with incredible island views.

An optional lunch can be arranged on board, or you can enjoy fresh seafood at a local island restaurant. On the return journey, stop for another swim or simply relax on deck as the city skyline comes back into view.

This tour is perfect for travelers seeking a mix of adventure, nature, and comfort—ideal for couples, families, or private groups looking to experience Istanbul from the water.
