Our partner piers
Pick the pier that’s easiest for your guests
European side
Kabataş
Central and easy to reach by tram and funicular from Sultanahmet and Taksim. A good choice when guests stay in the old city or around Beyoğlu.
European side
Arnavutköy
A quieter waterfront village between Ortaköy and Bebek, lined with old wooden mansions. Lovely for arrival photos.
European side
Kireçburnu
Up the Bosphorus near Tarabya, convenient for guests coming from the northern districts.
Asian side
Beykoz
On the green upper stretch of the Asian shore. Ideal for families coming from the Anatolian side.
Asian side
Beylerbeyi
Next to Beylerbeyi Palace, right below the Bosphorus Bridge. One of the most photogenic boarding points in the city.
Asian side
Kadıköy
The busiest hub on the Asian side, with ferry, metro and bus links. Easy for guests arriving from all over Istanbul.
Other piers and hotels
Staying on the water?
Another pier: if a different pier suits your guests better, ask us. We’ll check whether the boat can dock there and let you know about any pier fees.
Your hotel’s jetty: if you’re staying at a waterfront hotel with its own jetty, we can pick you up there with the hotel’s permission, as long as the jetty is suitable for the boat. Tell us the hotel name and we’ll check it for you.
Check your date
Tell us your date, guest count and where your guests are staying, and we’ll suggest the best boat and pier.
