Both the departure and return ferries left precisely on time. Everything went smoothly.

The crossing took more than two hours, which significantly reduced the time we had on the island. A direct route would have been more practical.

Helpful? Yes

Although the boat was quite crowded, the overall mood on board was really enjoyable. It was a pleasant experience.

Helpful? Yes

The line to swap tickets was pretty long, and no one gave clear instructions about which boat we should board. It would’ve helped to have better organization at the pier.

Helpful? Yes

It was a really nice trip overall. The only thing that would have made it better was having some music on the boat it felt a little quiet.

Helpful? Yes

The ferry ride itself was good and everything was on time, but once we reached the island, there wasn’t much to see or do.

Helpful? Yes

The whole process went without a hitch, but the departure time was a little unclear and caused some minor confusion.

Just a heads-up—the journey takes around 2 to 2.5 hours since the boat makes stops at each island. We weren’t expecting such a long duration. Also, the first boat doesn’t depart until 10:45 AM, so early visits aren’t possible.

Helpful? Yes

There was no audio commentary, and although the ride was supposed to take 1.5 hours, it ended up lasting two.

Helpful? Yes

The Princes' Islands are definitely worth a visit, but the stated travel time is misleading—it’s a two-hour trip each way. This is essentially the regular public ferry presented as a tourist option. You stop at every island along the route. It’s cheaper to buy a regular ticket unless you use the audio feature. I’d suggest taking the earliest boat to have more time on the island. Also, just be aware that beaches are closed until mid-May.

Helpful? Yes

Although the boat made multiple stops, extending the journey over an hour, it was still a wonderful overall experience.

Helpful? Yes

Despite the longer ride due to several stops, the experience was very enjoyable and totally worth it.

Everything about this trip was fantastic. Just be aware that the ferry ride takes about two hours, and the guide support is virtual rather than in person.

Helpful? Yes

There was no clear guidance on the ferry's departure location or the stops it would make, which made it difficult to plan ahead. I ended up taking a taxi to a spot near Dolmabahçe Palace, which turned out to be unnecessary—I could have just boarded from Eminönü instead.

Helpful? Yes

Booking was simple, and getting to the meeting location was no trouble at all. The staff at the reception were kind and accommodating. The trip went smoothly. I'd suggest heading to the Prince's Islands after checking out Istanbul’s major attractions.

The tour covered the entire Bosphorus, which was truly beautiful. The only minor issue was the length of the trip 2 and a half hours felt a bit long. By the last hour, we were pretty tired and even dozed off for a bit.

Helpful? Yes

Make sure to inquire about the stops and schedule carefully.

Helpful? Yes

The yacht was stunning and the drinks served were excellent.

Helpful? Yes

Buying the tickets directly at the location on the day would be more affordable. However, this option might be handy during busy days in August.

Helpful? Yes

The boat departed on schedule, though the return trip was delayed by about 30 minutes. Prices were very reasonable. You can purchase food onboard.
