The sunset yacht cruise, in short
A smaller, more comfortable boat than the large tour vessels, timed so you are on the water as the light goes. The best hour on the Bosphorus, on the right sort of deck for it.
You pass Dolmabahu00e7e Palace, Ortaku00f6y Mosque beneath the bridge, the yalu0131 mansions and the fortress at Rumeli, with the city turning gold and then lighting up behind you.

How long, and when

Worth knowing
Take a jacket. The deck is where you want to be and the wind picks up along the strait once the sun is down. Book early: the sunset slot is the first to go in summer.
