A Unique Transportation Experience from The Peninsula Istanbul: Pen 1

Going beyond the standard transfer concept , The Peninsula offers personalized transportation options as more than a service; it's an extension of the brand's art of living. Thus, the journey itself, whether by land, sea, or air, becomes an integral part of the destination's appeal.

Around the world, The Peninsula 's seaside hotels stand out with meticulously designed sea voyages that offer guests a combination of pleasure and comfort. The newest of these exclusive experiences is The Peninsula Istanbul 's custom-built motor yacht, PEN 1 , unveiled in July 2025.

The Peninsula Istanbul offers its guests an unforgettable experience on the enchanting waters of the Bosphorus with PEN 1 , a luxury motor yacht specially designed for the hotel to uniquely welcome them in the heart of Istanbul . This elegant 16-meter yacht can accommodate a total of 16 guests, with a capacity of 8 in the interior and 8 on the exterior deck. Served by a professional captain and crew , PEN 1 stands out not only as a transfer vehicle but also as a customizable experience space.

The Peninsula Istanbul offers its guests arriving at Istanbul Airport a comfortable transfer to the Golden Horn, and those arriving at Sabiha Gökçen Airport a transfer to Üsküdar, all via private vehicles. From these locations, guests are transported to the hotel via PEN 1 , enjoying breathtaking views and specially prepared refreshments. During the PEN 1 experience, guests' luggage is also transported to the hotel by vehicle.

PEN 1 is available not only for transfers but also for various occasions, from romantic sunset cruises and special celebrations to traditional Peninsula afternoon tea experiences on the Bosphorus . All requests are carefully planned by The Peninsula Istanbul concierge team.
