Beykoz Boat Rental: A Boutique Bosphorus Tour from the Asian Side

Why is setting off from Beykoz different?

Beykoz sits on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, a green and peaceful district stretching to the north. Unlike the busy piers in the centre, the pace here is slow, the shoreline is natural and it is easy to breathe. Even as you step aboard, it feels less like a city and more like a seaside getaway.

The biggest advantage of a private boat tour from Beykoz is how close you are to the northern end of the Bosphorus. Whether you head out toward the Black Sea or drop south toward Ortaköy and the historic peninsula, the route is entirely up to you. For anyone who wants a starting point that is far from the crowds and close to nature, Beykoz is spot on.

• A calm departure, away from the city's noise
• Close to green hills and natural coves
• Flexible routes both north and south
• Easy to reach for those living on the Asian side

What is there to see around Beykoz?

As you head out to sea from Beykoz, the most characterful views on the Asian side unfold one after another. The waterside village of Yalıköy, the greenery of Beykoz Grove, historic seaside mansions and wooded ridges that run right down to the water are the signature of this area. This part of the Bosphorus is more spacious and serene than the heavy traffic further south.

Drop a little to the south and Bosphorus classics such as Kanlıca, Anadolu Hisarı and the Küçüksu Pavilion come into view. Head north instead and you are met by Anadolu Kavağı, Yoros Castle and the wide expanse of water where the Black Sea opens up. In short, Beykoz sits at a happy middle distance from both historic and natural scenery.

A private tour on a boutique yacht

Sea Pleasure is not a big sightseeing boat; it is an intimate boutique yacht of around 12 m², for a maximum of 10 guests. Unlike crowded group tours, this scale gives you a space that is entirely your own. You enjoy the Bosphorus with your favourite people, sharing it with no one, playing your own music.

A captain is included on every tour; all you have to do is relax. On deck we serve unlimited tea and Turkish coffee. Wine and drinks are served on board, whatever the occasion. The sound system on deck is ready to go, so you set the mood.

What tours run from Beykoz?

With a Beykoz departure we shape your programme entirely around what you want. There is hourly hire for those after a short escape, and full-day options for anyone who wants to explore the Bosphorus all day long. You can even anchor in a cove and have breakfast in the calm of the early morning.

In warm weather we also anchor in a quiet cove for a swimming break. Fishing trips, however, are not among the services we offer.

How do pricing and booking work?

We have no fixed price list and no online payment. That is because every trip is different: the number of guests, the duration, the departure time and the route all affect the price directly. So once we have heard your plan, we give you the most accurate figure as a clear quote over WhatsApp.

All you need to do is message us on WhatsApp. Tell us which day, how many people and what kind of tour you have in mind, and we will get back to you quickly with availability and pricing. Besides Beykoz, we also have departure points at Yeniköy and Kuleli-Çengelköy, and we can choose the one nearest to you together.
