About Sinan Bey

A classic boat, a warm welcome

Sinan Bey is not a modern mega-yacht and that is exactly the point. With her cream-white structure, turquoise hull and warm wooden interiors, she carries the timeless character of the Bosphorus.

Behind her panoramic windows you'll find banquet tables, gold chairs, an open buffet and amber evening light an elegant yet approachable setting for the moments that matter most.
