Private boat transfers can be planned around your travel schedule between the European and Asian sides, Galataport, Bosphorus hotels, private piers and the Princes’ Islands.

Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi and Private Boat Transfers
Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi offers a private and comfortable alternative to the classic road transfer in Istanbul. Planning your journey by sea, especially between hotels, restaurants, private piers and waterfront locations along the Bosphorus, makes getting around Istanbul far more exclusive.
This is not a public transport or scheduled boat service. Subject to availability, the boat is planned only for you, your family or your group, so the departure point, arrival point and departure time can be arranged around your travel plans.
A private sea taxi can be considered for transfers from a Bosphorus hotel to a restaurant, from Galataport to the Asian side, from the European side to a private pier, or from Istanbul to the Princes’ Islands.
A Boat Just for You
Subject to availability, the boat is reserved only for you and your group, so your private transfer is arranged without waiting for a scheduled departure.
Timing That Fits Your Plans
Departure times can be planned around your hotel check-in, restaurant booking, flight, meeting or private event.
VIP Door-to-Door Planning
When needed, a VIP car and the sea taxi can be combined in one transfer plan for seamless travel.
How Is an Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi Planned?
To plan a VIP sea taxi, we confirm the transfer date, preferred departure time, number of passengers, luggage, departure point and arrival point. Based on these details, the right boat, the most suitable pier and the sea route are assessed.

Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi Routes
The Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi service can be planned between piers and waterfront locations with sea access. VIP boat transfers are especially popular for private crossings between the European and Asian sides of the Bosphorus, Galataport connections, Bosphorus hotels and the Princes’ Islands.
Benefits of the VIP Sea Taxi Service
Istanbul’s heavy road traffic can make travel plans difficult, especially along the Bosphorus. When your departure and arrival points have sea access, a VIP sea taxi offers a private alternative to the road, or a way to complete a road transfer.
A VIP service is about more than using a private boat. Your transfer is organised around your route, timing, number of passengers and travel plans. Private sea transfers can be arranged for many kinds of trips, from a hotel to a restaurant, from a meeting to a private event, or from the cruise terminal to a hotel on the Bosphorus.
Hotel, Restaurant and Private Event Transfers
Private boat transfers can be planned for Bosphorus hotels, waterfront restaurants, private events, meetings and receptions, provided the departure and arrival points have sea access.
Galataport and Cruise Transfers
For guests arriving in Istanbul by cruise ship or heading to Galataport, VIP sea transfers can be planned to Bosphorus hotels, the Asian side and suitable waterfront locations.
Booking an Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi
To book an Istanbul VIP Sea Taxi, simply share your transfer date, preferred departure time, number of passengers, luggage details, departure point and arrival point.
If your transfer starts or ends at a hotel, restaurant, Galataport, a marina, a private pier or another location with sea access, the location details are reviewed and a suitable boat and pier plan is prepared.
VIP Sea Taxi + Private Car Transfer
If there is no direct sea access at the start or end of your journey, a VIP car transfer can be combined with the sea taxi service. This way, the road and sea legs of a journey starting at the airport, a hotel or another location can be planned as one transfer.
The exact boat type, pier, route and departure time are confirmed at the time of booking, based on the number of passengers, luggage, boat availability, pier access, weather and sea conditions, and current operating conditions.
