About Private Yacht Swimming

The Private Istanbul Yacht Swimming Tour is designed for travelers who want to spend a relaxing day on the sea. Instead of a short sightseeing cruise, this experience focuses on swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying peaceful time on the water. The yacht is reserved only for your group, so the atmosphere feels private, comfortable, and easygoing from the beginning.

During the tour, the yacht sails away from the busy city and heads toward calm swimming areas. The route may include beautiful bays around Istanbul, where guests can swim directly from the yacht and enjoy time in the water. It is a lovely option for families, friends, or couples who want something more private and flexible than a standard Bosphorus cruise.

The experience lasts for most of the day, giving you plenty of time to relax on deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and stop for swimming breaks. You are also welcome to bring your own food, drinks, and music if you want to make the day even more personal. The cruise can be shaped around your preferences, depending on sea conditions and the plan for the day.

With your Istanbul Tourist Pass®, this private yacht swimming tour is available at a special discounted rate. It is one of the most relaxing and memorable ways to enjoy Istanbul from the water while spending quality time with the people you love.

The Private Istanbul Yacht Swimming Tour is available every day of the week at 9 AM or 10 AM.
