Overview
This three-hour private boat trip is timed to spend the last light of the day among the historic shores of the Dardanelles. The boat leaves the city centre, crosses to pass Kilitbahir Castle on the far shore and heads south, where the silhouette of the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial above Morto Bay is seen from the water near Karanlık Liman. On the way back it passes Çimenlik Castle; the operator also lists the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge among the sights along the route. The start time shifts through the season to match sunset. Tea and coffee are served, and guests may bring their own food and drinks.
