Questions

Frequently asked

Everything worth knowing before you board. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp.

What's included in the dinner cruise?

Every seat comes with a four-course Turkish dinner — cold meze, soup, a hot main and dessert — unlimited soft drinks, table service on deck and the full live Turkish night show. The Turkish night cruise adds a drinks package with local beer, wine and raki.

What is the Turkish night show?

Live Turkish musicians play through dinner, then a folk-dance troupe performs — whirling dervishes, regional dances and a belly-dance finale, with an open floor for guests who want to join in.

What time does it depart, and how long is it?

Boarding is around 19:30 at the Karaköy pier for a nightly departure. The cruise runs about four hours — dinner, the show and a full loop of the illuminated Bosphorus.

Where do the cruises depart from?

The Karaköy pier in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, between the Galata Bridge and the Golden Horn — central and easy to reach. The exact boarding point is confirmed when you book.

Can I get a vegetarian or halal menu?

Yes — vegetarian, vegan and halal versions of the four-course menu are available at no extra cost. Just let us know when you book so the kitchen can prepare it.

Are drinks included?

Unlimited soft drinks come with every dinner cruise. The Turkish night cruise includes a drinks package with a set allowance of local beer, wine and raki; on the standard dinner cruise these are available from the bar or as a pre-booked package.

How do I book?

The fastest way is a WhatsApp message (+90 552 463 84 98). Tell us your date and group size and we confirm availability, the boarding time and a clear price the same day. You can also email or use the contact page.

Can we book the whole boat privately?

Yes — the private dinner cruise takes the whole yacht for your group, with the menu, timing and décor set to you. It runs from an intimate table for two up to around eighty guests.

Is it good for a proposal, anniversary or birthday?

Very — the private dinner cruise is a favourite for celebrations. We can add flowers, a 'will you marry me?' set-up, a cake, a photographer and a musician, and keep it all a surprise.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The cruise runs in most conditions, but if the weather is genuinely unsafe we move you to another night at no extra cost. We're always in touch beforehand.
