“we had a lot of fun! we are english speakers, they spoke English fine, the pick up was OK, we didn't know where we were going but they helpfully showed us where on the marina to go. the boat was lovely, so chilled, sun loungers on the top and tables on the bottom. we stopped off at 3 bays, and as another reviewer said, there is no chance to actually explore Phaselis but you'll see it from a distance when they drop you off at the bay. swimming was lovely, good opportunities to take pictures. they just let you get on with it which we appreciated. they play music but…”

3.Romantic Night Cruise Live Violinist

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $60

“It was a decent and pleasant night. It was a really nice experience to end our last day in Istanbul with such a program. They offered live violin and a glass of wine. We ordered the rest from the yacht's menu. The view of the Bosphorus fascinated us. Our team was so sweet and gave us blankets to keep us cold. There was an easy meeting point. The team contacted us via WhatsApp and gave all the details. They are definitely worth the price. I have no doubt that I will receive this service again when I come with my friends next year.”

“Our Photographer was just the best. He picked some great locations and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The pictures turned out great, and I’m excited to share them with friends. When on vacation sometimes it’s really hard to get a good picture. You either have to do a selfie or ask strangers and the pictures are never the best. So hiring the photographer is the perfect way to capture. Great memories.”

Not only did the spa go above and beyond my expectations, they were also so helpful with advising on the rest of our trip making suggestions for restaurants and boat tours.
