Detailed Yacht Experience

Step aboard M/Y PASSION, your private floating sanctuary on the legendary Bosphorus Strait. Unlike standard tour boats, Passion offers the exclusivity of a private villa, gliding between two continents—Europe and Asia.

As you embark from the pier, the city’s chaotic energy fades, replaced by the rhythmic lapping of waves against the 18-meter hull. Picture yourself on the spacious aft deck, a glass of chilled Turkish wine in hand, as you pass the illuminated Dolmabahçe Palace and the iconic Maiden’s Tower. The yacht’s 2018 refit ensures every inch feels modern and inviting, from the teak decking to the plush seating areas designed for conversation and relaxation.

For those seeking a full-day escape, M/Y PASSION transforms into a summer playground. Cruise toward the Princes’ Islands, dropping anchor in a secluded bay. The hydraulic swimming platform invites you to dive into the cool Marmara Sea, while the sun pads on the foredeck offer the perfect vantage point for sun-worshippers.

As evening approaches, the atmosphere shifts. The crew sets the table for an alfresco dinner under the stars. Whether you are planning a surprise marriage proposal with the Bosphorus Bridge shimmering in the background or a sophisticated corporate mixer, M/Y PASSION delivers an unforgettable Istanbul experience where luxury meets history.
