Private Bosphorus & Golden Horn Boat/Yacht for 15–40 Guests: Meet Ortaköylü - The Other Tour 2025

Table of Contents

Introduction

There’s something about the Bosphorus. A strait that divides continents, yes—but more than that, a river of memory, of romance, of celebration. For locals, it’s a part of life. For visitors, a dream. And now, thanks to Ortaköylü, it can be your dream—realized in style.

Launched in 2009 and lovingly renovated in early 2025, Ortaköylü is not just a boat—it’s a statement. With its elegant build, generous space, and expert crew, this 16-meter yacht offers private access to one of the most iconic waterways in the world. Whether you’re planning a romantic sunset cruise, a birthday party with friends, or a floating corporate event, Ortaköylü is designed to impress.

Tailored to Your Taste — With or Without Catering

Whether you’re planning a laid-back afternoon cruise with your own snacks and drinks or a fully catered dinner under the stars, Ortaköylü is fully customizable. From guided Bosphorus cruises and birthday surprises to business gatherings and engagement parties, every kind of event is welcome—with or without catering.

You can bring your own food and beverages, or let the crew handle everything from meze platters to elegant dinner service. The boat is your stage—set it how you like.

Meet Captain Ömer

Ortaköylü wouldn’t be what it is without Captain Ömer. A veteran of the sea, Ömer knows the Bosphorus like most people know their neighborhood streets. He’s not just a captain; he’s a guide, a storyteller, and a true Istanbulite. His presence brings calm, confidence, and just the right amount of charisma to every journey.

His crew is equally impressive—professional, fast, and warm. They handle everything from docking to drink service with quiet efficiency and a genuine smile.
