About this experience

If you are looking for something truly unique and special, this private sailing experience is exactly for you! A private professional jazz musician will set the tune for a breezy and light 2 hours sailing cruise towards the Marmara sea. Enjoy the live jazz music blowing in the sea breeze along the shoreline of majestic Istanbul.

For your wine picnic, our professional sommelier has selected a quality bottle of wine from the local grape varieties. Discover Turkish wine accompanied by delicious bites from the best quality small family-owned shops, and a refreshing bottle of drinking water. You can learn all about the selected wine from a virtual sommelier video accessible through the QR code on an information card included in your basket.

And as the sun sets down and the music continues playing, don’t you worry if it gets a little chilly – there are cozy blankets available on the boat!

What is more, there is a sailing crew available to assist you at all times on this private sailing cruise by Vines & Pearls!

To make it happen we hand-picked the small bites from local vendors and trusted shops, we carefully selected the wines and created the virtual sommelier material so all the information about the wine you are tastings at your finger tips. The most special element of all is your personal jazz musician who will set the tune for the beautiful views and maybe even the sunset!
