A Collection of royal boats.
An intriguing glimpse into the lives of Ottoman sultans along the Bosphorus, where exquisite design and masterful craftsmanship evoke a dreamlike world.

It is a very interesting museum if you are traveling with children. The entire history of the Turkish navy is presented in chronological order, with many different artifacts: documents, equipment, costumes, weapons, etc. Tickets are inexpensive compared to other museums, children under 9 years old are generally free, and students get a 50% discount.
The hysterical galleys are presented entirely in a huge hall, followed by several more floors with an exhibition.
We really enjoyed it here!
There is a cafe with very beautiful desserts at the exit, I recommend it!

A very, very cool museum for those who understand the maritime business. For others, the main halls will be interesting, where a real 16th-century galley and a huge collection of Sultan pleasure boats from the 17th and 20th centuries are kept. All originals, which is important. Plus, there are many different decorative elements of famous ships.
The collection of items related to famous Ottoman navigators is also impressive.

The museum is interesting, I always try to visit marine museums. Huge Ottoman galleys, models of ships from historical to modern, historical underwater equipment. It's a pity the lighting is not very suitable for photos

The exposition is very solid. Of course, the successes of the Turkish fleet are presented as something unimaginable, although in practice there was nothing special. The Sultan's boats are impressive, apparently everything was assembled here. But besides boats, there are many interesting things: ship models, cannons, interior parts, ship items and personal belongings of prominent navigators. There are several themed halls dedicated to Ataturk, divers, the "liberation" of Northern Cyprus, etc. There were some interesting things in the souvenir shop too.

Located at the Besiktas marina. There is an entrance on the museum map, without it the entrance is three times more expensive. If the museum is not interesting, there are always many other locations on the Besiktas embankment.

A great way to combine a boat trip with a visit to the sights. You can get to the center, to the mosques of Sultanahmet, and to the Asian part-shopping, hot and noisy, and to the Prince's Islands, if there is a fuse to relax and swim. Nearby is a maritime museum with an excellent exposition, a cafe and a toilet, respectively. Personally, I prefer not to explore Istanbul's urban transport in good weather, but to enjoy the water! They wear tea, coffee and juices, the views are luxurious, I recommend it!

I was here two years ago. It opened only after the restoration. It looks small from the outside. And inside it is huge in three floors. Boats and speedboats are on display and not at all crowded . Very interesting exhibits from different times. Stories about the naval battles of the past centuries

It's not very informative, there's a lot of text, it's boring to read, the first hall with a lot of big boats are all similar to each other, there's no audio guide or interactive

The museum is small, but it is worth visiting to get an idea of the boats of the sultans. They are very beautiful and elegant. There is an exhibition dedicated to diving equipment

A great museum, interesting for both children and adults, the main thing is that on Tuesday the museum is free for everyone. Full-size boats, a large collection of spacesuits, Atatürk's cabin. I highly recommend visiting the museum.

A very interesting museum with a large collection of historical ships. The museum presents in detail the entire history of the Ottoman and Turkish fleets. The exposition is large-scale. The windows of the museum overlook the Golden Horn.

An excellent museum in the Besiktas area.
We visited in November 2023, admission was free (usually 200 liras and payment by card only). The Museum Pass is not valid. Boats, models of ships, weapons, Ataturk's cabin, his personal belongings and much more are presented.
There is a small cafe and a gift shop.

The Maritime Museum in Istanbul, the largest naval museum in Turkey, and one of the largest and most important in the world.
There is a very large collection of marine items, documents, real boats, tools. I can't list everything. The boats of the Sultans deserve special attention.
We arrived more than an hour before closing time, and we didn't have enough time, we were allowed to just run through the last floors. Let's come here again.
Prices for foreigners and those living in Turkey are very different. There are tariffs in the photos.
On Wednesday, tickets for Turkish citizens are 30 lira each. Children under 16 are free of charge.
The museum closes at 17.00 and at 16.00 they are no longer allowed, experience has shown that an hour is not enough.
It is interesting for both adults and children. However, there is little that can be touched and twisted, most of the exhibits are under glass.

It is the first museum of my childhood. When I was a child, I used to go often with my father and brothers. The way she is now is also very beautiful. The informative information notes are also nice. It is a place that people who are interested in maritime history should definitely visit.

A small and not very interesting collection. You can combine it with an excursion to the Palace, but only if you have the strength left :))

An uninteresting exposition, a lot of some monotonous ships from the 18th and 19th centuries. In my opinion, it was possible to do more and more interesting on such squares

The museum will be interesting not only for lovers of military history, but also for those who can simply enjoy beautiful things as objects of art. The boats are presented with such beauty that you can make more than one circle around the hall, admiring the perfection of shapes, lines, paintings!
The rest of the exposition is also interesting, well presented, and does not tire with congestion. The "underwater" hall on the 1st floor is good.
Everyone here will definitely find something interesting for themselves. I recommend.
In August 2022, the payment will be 30 liras.

Comparable to the same in St. Petersburg, several halls with models, two dozen authentic, luxuriously decorated Sultan's traveling boats, the entire history of the Mediterranean fleet, the Ottoman Empire and Turkey is presented - in artifacts, paintings, interactive exhibitions. Low-cost entry, about 10trl in 2019.
