Tour Pictures from Travelers
I have recently completed the booking process, and I must say, the entire experience was smooth and very professional. Upon securing the reservation, I was asked to pay a deposit, which was completely reasonable and handled seamlessly. I received an instant confirmation email, and shortly after, the captain reached out to me directly to introduce himself. I also received a proper invoice, which I truly appreciated as it reflects the level of their service.
For the meeting point, I selected Eminönü Pier as it was conveniently close to my hotel. The captain was in touch with me via WhatsApp and we met precisely at the agreed location, without any confusion.
Additionally, I had pre-booked two dinners for our cruise. The captain contacted me through the GetTurkeyTour platform to discuss menu options. Their system allowed for direct communication with the captain, which made the entire process efficient and personalised.
The remaining balance was settled in cash on the day of the tour, which was straightforward. The entire process — from booking to the actual cruise — was organised in a highly professional manner. What stood out to me was that their pricing was nearly 50% less than many of the larger travel agency websites, yet the level of service provided was absolutely top-tier. I am very impressed with how well everything was managed.
I had been planning a special wedding proposal for my girlfriend during our trip to Istanbul, and choosing the private yacht was the best decision of my life. From the very beginning, the process was very smooth. The captain was in contact with me on WhatsApp, and he helped to organise everything secretly as per my plan. They even arranged a small flower decoration on the yacht which was a lovely surprise for my partner.
We started the cruise in the evening from Eminönü Pier. As we sailed through the Bosphorus, the sunset was casting golden colours on the water, creating the most romantic atmosphere. I took her to the front deck, and with the beautiful view of the Bosphorus Bridge in the background, I went down on one knee and proposed to her. She was so emotional and said “Yes” immediately! The crew was very kind and even took some beautiful photos and videos for us.
Afterwards, we had a lovely dinner onboard with a Turkish menu which was delicious. Everything was private, peaceful, and arranged exactly as I wanted. I will never forget this day, and Beyaz İnci Yacht made it possible. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a special occasion like an engagement or proposal.
There’s no better way to appreciate Istanbul than from the deck of the Beyaz İnci Yacht. The service was impeccable, and the yacht itself was stunning. We booked a 2-hour private sunset cruise, and the atmosphere was serene and magical. The Bosphorus at golden hour is an experience everyone should have, and this yacht makes it even more special. The captain navigated through quieter spots, allowing us to enjoy the calm waters and city lights without any interruptions.
I must say, hiring the Beyaz İnci Yacht for a private Bosphorus cruise was a marvellous decision. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of splendid. The yacht itself was immaculately maintained, with tasteful decor and ample space for our small group to unwind. We were greeted warmly by the crew, who were exceptionally courteous and ensured we were well looked after throughout the voyage.
Sailing along the Bosphorus provided a perspective of Istanbul that one simply cannot appreciate from land. Gliding past grand palaces, historic mosques, and charming waterfront mansions was utterly mesmerising. The gentle sway of the yacht, coupled with the fresh breeze and a glass of chilled white wine, created a truly serene ambiance.
What struck me most was the privacy and calmness. Unlike the crowded public tours, this was an intimate experience where we could take in the beauty of the city at our own pace. The crew were attentive yet discreet, allowing us to enjoy our time without interruption, whilst also being on hand to provide interesting tidbits about the landmarks we passed.
If you’re seeking a refined and peaceful way to experience Istanbul’s waterways, I wholeheartedly recommend chartering the Beyaz İnci Yacht. It’s a rather special experience that leaves you with lasting memories.
We are friend group from Bulgaria and book this private yacht for Princess Island cruise. It was amazing, really very beautiful trip. The yacht Beyaz İnci is big and clean, have very nice area where we sit and relax. Captain was very kind, he explain us where we go and show many nice places around islands. We drink tea and take many pictures with my friends. The sea was calm and view was so special, like movie.
We go near Büyükada and see beautiful old houses and nature, it was very peaceful. Not crowded, only us on boat, we feel very private and comfortable. My friends were so happy, we dance little on deck and enjoy sun. The staff make us feel VIP, even we just normal people.
If you come Istanbul with friends, this cruise is perfect. You see Princess Islands in best way, no stress, no rush, just relax and enjoy time. I will come again for sure, and bring more friends next time. Thank you Beyaz İnci Yacht!
Die private Bootstour mit der Beyaz İnci Yacht war das Highlight unserer Istanbul-Reise. Das Boot war luxuriös ausgestattet, sehr sauber und bot eine wunderbare Atmosphäre zum Entspannen. Die Crew war freundlich und professionell. Besonders beeindruckend war die Fahrt entlang der historischen Uferhäuser und Paläste, während wir in aller Ruhe den Sonnenuntergang über dem Bospurus genossen haben. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!
Reservamos el yate Beyaz İnci para una celebración familiar, y fue increíble. Desde el primer momento, la atención fue impecable. El recorrido por el Bósforo nos permitió ver Estambul desde una perspectiva única, lejos de las multitudes. Nos ofrecieron bebidas a bordo, y disfrutamos de la tranquilidad del mar con unas vistas espectaculares. Sin duda, repetiría esta experiencia en nuestra próxima visita.
My friends and I decided to rent the Beyaz İnci Yacht for a private Bosphorus tour, and it turned out to be the best decision of our trip. The yacht was spacious and elegantly furnished. The staff was very professional, ensuring that we had everything we needed while also giving us space to enjoy our privacy. Sailing past historic waterfront mansions, we felt like royalty. The gentle breeze, combined with the stunning views of Istanbul’s skyline, made this cruise an unforgettable memory.
Alquilar el yate Beyaz İnci fue una de las mejores experiencias en Estambul. El barco era precioso, muy limpio y cómodo, perfecto para disfrutar de un paseo privado por el Bósforo. Navegar junto a los palacios y mezquitas mientras el sol se ponía fue simplemente mágico. El capitán y la tripulación fueron muy atentos y profesionales. Recomiendo esta experiencia a quienes buscan un momento exclusivo y tranquilo en la ciudad.
