Private Sea Taxi Between Istanbul’s European and Asian Sides

One of the features that makes Istanbul unique is its location across Europe and Asia, with the Istanbul Bosphorus separating the city’s two sides. Crossing between the European and Asian sides is an important part of transportation in Istanbul, while a private sea taxi turns this journey into a personalised transfer.

With Istanbul European Side Asian Side Sea Taxi, a private boat or speedboat transfer can be planned between suitable waterfront points without depending on a fixed public transportation timetable. The departure point, departure time and destination can be evaluated according to the guest’s programme.

Every transfer is planned individually. Exact departure and docking points are confirmed during the reservation process according to boat and pier availability, number of passengers, luggage, weather and sea conditions, and current operational requirements.

European Side → Asian Side

Private sea transfers can be planned from suitable waterfront locations on the European Side to Üsküdar, Beylerbeyi, Kandilli and other suitable destinations on the Asian Side.
