The Bosphorus at golden hour

Real photographs from our sunset sailings — the strait turning copper and rose behind the palaces and bridges. No stock images, no filters: just the light as it actually fell, from a shared sail at €30 per person or a private yacht from €220.

Sunsets we have sailed through

A dozen evenings on the strait — palaces, bridges and the sky turning. Every Vesper sailing is timed to the day's exact sunset, so this is the light you can expect.
