The trip was pleasant and comfortable. I recommend arriving early to secure the best seats. There aren't many snacks and drinks, but there is a bar for purchase. There's a stop on the Asian side, so 20 minutes isn't enough time for a walk or lunch. The crew is friendly and helpful. The guide is very informative, and if you're interested, you can listen to him in English. Overall, I enjoyed the trip.

I loved everything, starting with the fact that they were super punctual at departure time, the yacht was very comfortable, and the snacks were delicious, not to mention the tea and Turkish coffee, which were delicious. 100% recommended.

It was a fantastic experience. The boat was lovely, and the crew was very friendly. However, there was an issue. We arrived at the meeting point and on-time, but when they took us to the boat, all the good seats were already taken.
