      Private Istanbul Yacht Swimming Tour

      A full-day private yacht swim experience across the calm bays of the Princes' Islands and the Bosphorus

      The Private Istanbul Yacht Swimming Tour is a full-day experience on a luxury private yacht, designed for guests who place privacy, comfort, and freedom at the top of their priorities. Unlike standard boat tours, this experience centers entirely on swimming, relaxing, and exploring Istanbul's most peaceful waters at your own pace.

      The tour spans a minimum of 8 hours. Approximately 3 hours are spent cruising between Istanbul and the selected swim areas, while the remaining time is devoted to swimming directly from the yacht, sunbathing on deck, and visiting island shores if desired.

      The Princes' Islands serve as the primary destination for this experience, offering sheltered bays with calm, clear water that are well suited for swimming from a private yacht. Guests may also choose to visit the island on foot for lunch or light exploration before returning to the yacht.

      For guests who prefer to stay closer to the city, the captain can anchor in quiet coastal areas near the Bosphorus, providing a relaxed swim environment without traveling far from central Istanbul. All swim locations are selected with safety and water quality in mind.
