Family Cruise

Private Family Boat Tour on the Istanbul Bosphorus

The Family Cruise is designed for families with children and small friend groups who want to explore the Bosphorus at an easy, stress-free pace. The whole boat is yours alone; the captain handles everything while you relax and the kids move around freely. A short swim stop in a calm cove, plenty of tea and on-board treats make the day peaceful.

A Relaxed, Safe Day for the Whole Family

Our boutique boat is small and intimate, so you can keep an eye on the kids at every moment, far from the rush of a crowded tourist boat. The pace is entirely up to you, whether you watch the view calmly or cool off in a cove. Our captain takes care of the route, safety and every detail, so you simply enjoy the moment.

Easy Departure and Flexible Planning

You can set off from whichever point suits you best: Yeniköy (Sarıyer, European side), Beykoz (Anatolian side) or Kuleli-Çengelköy (Üsküdar). We arrange the duration, swim stop and route together to fit your family's needs. It is ideal for a birthday, a small celebration or simply a pleasant weekend.
