Getting to Kabataş
Kabataş is the final stop of the T1 tram line, and also a stop for the funicular connecting to Taksim Square, making it one of the easiest piers in Istanbul to reach by public transport.
If you're staying in one of our free shuttle pickup areas (Sultanahmet, Taksim, Şişli, Beşiktaş and others — see our transfer page for the full list and times), our shuttle will bring you directly to the pier before boarding.
What to expect on arrival
Look for our crew at the pier from 19:45 — they'll check you in and guide you to the boat. Boarding closes shortly before departure at 20:45, so please arrive within the boarding window.
Not using the shuttle?
You're welcome to make your own way to Kabataş Motor İskelesi by tram, taxi or on foot and board directly — just aim to arrive by 19:45.
