Dilnişin: Boutique Bosphorus Yacht

Meet

Dilnişin is a 24-metre motor yacht designed for people who don’t just want “a boat ride” – they want an experience.

She has classic lines, warm details, and the feeling of a private floating villa rather than a commercial tour boat. Built in 2013 and refitted in 2023, Dilnişin brings together reliability, comfort and style in a way that works perfectly for both locals and visitors who want to enjoy the Bosphorus in a more intimate, personal way.

With her size and layout, she’s ideal for small groups: families, couples, close friends, or a small company group looking to impress guests without going over the top.

Design & Atmosphere

Dilnişin was created by Taka Yacht Design (O. Tanju Kalaycıoğlu & Özgür Terzioğlu), and you feel that design sensibility the moment you step on board.

• The interior salon is cosy and inviting – a comfortable place to sit, talk, eat, or just watch the city glide by through large windows.

• The exterior decks are where the Bosphorus really comes alive:

  • A spacious aft deck for open-air dining and photos

  • Areas to sit, relax and enjoy the breeze

  • Perfect angles for sunset shots with the Bosphorus Bridge or the Historical Peninsula in the background

The overall feeling is relaxed, private and tasteful – no loud party-boat vibes unless you bring them yourself.

Comfort Below Deck: Cabins & Layout

Although many guests use Dilnişin for short cruises, she’s also ready for longer trips and overnight stays.

• 4 cabins in total

  • 3 × master cabins

  • 1 × single cabin

• Comfortable enough for up to 8 overnight guests

• Separate crew area for privacy and smooth service

This makes the yacht suitable not just for a couple of hours on the Bosphorus, but also for full-day programs or even a night on the water, if you’d like to extend the experience.

Where You Can Cruise

Dilnişin is powered by twin Scania 600 hp engines, giving her both stability and flexibility. Typical options include:

• Classic Bosphorus Cruise
  Glide between Europe and Asia, passing Ortaköy, Bebek, Arnavutköy, Anadolu Hisarı, and the iconic yalıs.

• Golden Horn Extension
  Add a different angle on the city by slipping into the Golden Horn, with its historical maritime feel.

• Princes’ Islands (on request)
  For a full-day escape, head out towards the islands and enjoy swimming stops and a slower pace.

Whether it’s a two-hour sunset cruise or an all-day private charter, Dilnişin offers a calm, pleasant platform for your time on the water.

Perfect For…

One of the strengths of Dilnişin is how versatile she is. A few ideas:

• Romantic Sunset Cruises
  Proposals, anniversaries, birthdays – the soft evening light over Istanbul makes the perfect backdrop.

• Small Celebrations
  Intimate gatherings with family or friends, with music, food and drinks as you sail past palaces and bridges.

• Corporate Hosting & VIP Guests
  Invite partners, clients or colleagues on board for a relaxed but impressive setting, away from crowded venues.

• Family Outings
  A safe and comfortable way to show off the city to out-of-town visitors or just enjoy a special day together.

Because she’s not too big and not too small, Dilnişin feels exclusive without being intimidating or impractically large.

Experience Over “Just a Tour”

Choosing a yacht like Dilnişin is about more than transport. It’s about how you feel during those hours on the water:

• You’re not squeezed into a crowded boat.

• You can move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces.

• You can talk, laugh, celebrate, or hold a quiet conversation without shouting over loudspeakers.

• You get the sense that the yacht is “yours” for that time.

Pair that with good service, tailored routes, and the endlessly changing views of Istanbul, and you have the ingredients for a genuinely memorable Bosphorus experience.
