Hello, I am very interested in your private sea taxi transfer. We will be staying at the De Reve Galata hotel in New Town. I think the closest port is Kabatas. We would like to be picked up at the Kabatas port at 8:30 am on Sunday Aug 30 and taken to Buyukada. It says the transfer time only takes 45 minutes? Is that correct? I know the ferry takes 1:45, but maybe with a private transfer its much faster. For the return we would like to be picked up at 16:00 in Buyukada and taken back to Kabatas. What would be the price for 2 adults, for both directions? I see that the boat is small and people are sitting inside. Are there seats outside or can we stand on deck during the journey, since we want to see the sites on the way and take pictures. Thank you

Answer

Dear Guest, Thank you for your message and for choosing our services. We are delighted that you have booked both our Heritage Walking Tour and Private Sea Taxi Transfer. I would be happy to answer your questions. Yes, the private sea taxi journey from Kabataş to Büyükada takes approximately 45 minutes, depending on sea and weather conditions. Since the boat travels directly to the island without stopping at other piers, it is significantly faster than the public ferry, which usually takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Your requested schedule is perfectly suitable: 30 August 08:30 AM – Departure from Kabataş Approximately 09:15 AM – Arrival at Büyükada Return Journey 04:00 PM – Departure from Büyükada Approximately 04:45 PM – Arrival at Kabataş Regarding the boat, it has a comfortable indoor passenger cabin where guests are seated throughout the journey. While there is no outdoor seating area or deck available for passengers, the large windows provide excellent views of Istanbul's skyline, the Sea of Marmara, and the Princes' Islands, allowing you to enjoy the scenery and take photographs during the trip. We are confident you will enjoy this comfortable and scenic journey, and we look forward to welcoming you on board. Should you have any further questions before your arrival, please don't hesitate to contact us.
