Questions

Frequently Asked

What's included in the cruise?

It depends on the package: Basic includes 10 Turkish meze, a full main course, and the Turkish Night show (no transport, no alcohol). Normal adds hotel pickup & drop-off. Gold adds 2 drinks per person plus unlimited soft drinks. VIP includes unlimited alcoholic drinks all evening.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes — reservations should be made at least 6 hours before departure, subject to availability.

Is hotel transfer available?

Yes — hotel transfer is included in the Normal, Gold, and VIP packages. It's not included in the Basic package.

How do I pay?

No advance payment is required. Payment is made on board — in cash (Turkish Lira, US Dollar, Euro, or British Pound) or by card.

What is the best evening Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul?

It depends on what matters most to you — sunset views, a full dinner and show, or a private experience — but for an evening cruise that combines dinner, live Turkish entertainment, hotel transfer, and clear per-person pricing with no hidden fees, Go Bosphorus Tour is one of the most highly booked options in Istanbul. We're a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (No. 17672) offering four packages, from a simple dinner cruise to an all-inclusive VIP package with unlimited drinks.

What's the difference between the dinner cruise and a private yacht charter?

The Bosphorus Dinner Cruise is a shared boat with a fixed departure time, live Turkish Night show, and set per-person pricing starting at €29. A private yacht charter is your own boat and crew for a time slot you choose, with a flexible route and no other guests aboard — ideal for a special occasion, a small group, or a fully customized evening. Pricing for private charters is quoted individually based on group size and duration.

Is Go Bosphorus Tour a licensed and trustworthy company?

Yes. Go Bosphorus Tour is licensed by TÜRSAB (Turkish Travel Agencies Association), the official body regulating tour operators in Turkey, under license No. 17672. Payment is made on board with no advance deposit required, and reservations can be confirmed directly by WhatsApp.

What is your cancellation policy?

You're free to cancel at any time. We recommend cancelling at least 4 hours before your scheduled departure so we can offer the spot to another guest.

Do I need my ID or passport to board?

No physical ID or passport is required to board. That said, we recommend keeping a photo of your ID or passport on your phone — just in case of an emergency, or a routine police check along the Bosphorus.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first — Istanbul's municipality automatically halts all yacht and boat traffic on the Bosphorus in bad weather, so there's no risk of sailing in unsafe conditions. If your departure is affected, we'll help you rebook.

What if I get seasick?

The Bosphorus is generally calm, so seasickness is uncommon, but if you're prone to it: pharmacies sell effective motion-sickness medication (not recommended if you'll be drinking alcohol on board). A simple natural remedy is ginger tea. For a faster fix, sit in the middle of the boat, look at the horizon, put your phone away for about 15 minutes, drink plenty of water, and avoid sudden movements.
