Fishing Tour in Istanbul – A Relaxing Adventure on the Bosphorus
Discover the Joy of Fishing in Istanbul
Imagine spending a few hours on the water, casting your line into the Bosphorus, and watching the city unfold around you. Our Istanbul fishing tour is designed for anyone who wants to enjoy a slower pace while still experiencing the heart of the city. Whether you have fished many times before or are trying it for the first time, the Bosphorus offers both excitement and calm in equal measure.
What Makes This Tour Special
The trip lasts about five hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the fresh air and the rhythm of the waves. Tours usually depart from Sarıyer, one of the best fishing spots along the Bosphorus. Depending on the weather, the exact departure point can change, but every location promises great views and good chances for a catch.
One of the best parts of this experience is that you can take your catch home. Sharing freshly caught bluefish, bonito, or mackerel with friends or family makes the adventure even more memorable.
The Seasons of Fishing in the Bosphorus
Fishing here is a year-round activity, but each season has its highlights.
- Spring and fall bring bluefish and bonito, a favorite among local fishermen.
- Summer is lively with mackerel and mullet.
- Winter fills the Bosphorus with anchovies, small but full of flavor and a big part of Istanbul’s food culture.
No matter when you come, there is always something to catch and something to learn about the rhythm of the water.
A Safe and Guided Experience
The tour is led by an experienced crew who know the waters well. They provide all the equipment and guidance you need, so you can focus on enjoying yourself. Of course, fishing always depends on nature, but part of the charm is that every trip feels different.
More Than Just Fishing
While the thrill of the catch is exciting, the Bosphorus itself is what makes this tour so unique. As you wait for a bite, you’ll see the Bosphorus Bridge, historic palaces, and wooden mansions lining the shores. It’s the kind of view that makes you put your rod down for a moment, just to take it all in.

(2.8)My Worst Fishing Ever
It was the worst kind of fishing... to be honest, it wasn't fishing at all. it was boating with a fishing line in hand... Let's start with organization. It was written on the site that I pay 50% immediately, the rest of the money during fishing. but they called me, wrote, in the end I had to send the rest, although it was originally written about cash on the boat. Then it turned out that the fisherman did not speak English ... at all ... but okay, I understand that not everyone knows English, but he did not even try to show something, tell, at first we silently sailed to the islands, then he got the fishing line, showed how to open it and showed me how to pull the rope... and so a couple of hours passed... I really wanted to sleep because of such boredom, it was not interesting at all... in complete silence I just pulled the rope... I caught a small fish.. Then we moved closer to the shore in order to catch a small fish with a bait ... this bait is completely impossible to cast from a boat. the sinker was too light, and the hooks sank quite a bit .... so some time passed ... we were completely tired of it and we pointed to the shore ... I understand that you can not catch anything on fishing, the fish does not sit in one place and does not wait... but fishing is not only fish... if you only need fish, you can buy it in the market... fishing is an active holiday, it is communication, and a real fisherman can share different stories, tell where and what he caught, etc. and we were just silent... 5 hours... I won't recommend this fishing trip to anyone, it was very terrible

(4.0)My fishing experience
Hello. The trip was organized very fast and professional but maybe the details about a meeting point with Capitan could be better described. The fishing itself was poor. The fishing rod was just for horse mackerel with tiny hooks. No bigger hooks for bigger fish and no bait at all. So it was nice sea trip but not a good fishing as expected.
Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!
Hello, unfortunately, there will be no big fish in the Bosphorus in July, only horse mackerel. July is not the season for big fish in the Bosphorus. You can try again for big fish in August, October and December. For the meeting place, Maltepe Ispark box office number 4 was given to you as the meeting place and we met you there just in time. Please let us know if you have a better idea. Kind regards, Vigo Tours
