Wooden boats have been constructed with conventional methods for centuries in the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. We, at VBB (Vintage Bosphorus Boats), have brought those boats, symbolizing Istanbul yet almost completely forgotten, into being again with the last surviving boat masters. We have finished the boats with enthusiasm by use of century-old materials. And we have combined the passion of the former century with today's needs to offer the same to you.

We hope to make you have a lovely, memorable time in Istanbul with the experienced sea captains of the Bosporus and our English-speaking service staff…
