Overview
On this chartered yacht trip to the Princes' Islands, boats usually leave Kalamış, Fenerbahçe or Kartal in the morning, and some operators also pick up from Bosphorus piers; charters last four to eight hours. The route covers bays around Kınalıada, Burgazada, Heybeliada and Büyükada. Common swimming spots are Kalpazankaya on Burgazada, Çam Limanı and Değirmenburnu on Heybeliada, and Yörükali and Prenses on Büyükada. The captain chooses the bays with your group according to the wind. Only your group is on board; catering, photography and decorations are usually charged separately.
