There is no combined ticket and no discount on this page. adventuro from-prices were checked on 15 October 2026. Homefans football-trip totals vary by departure date.
| Half of the weekend | Where to book | From |
|---|---|---|
| 3 nights, two Super Lig matches, max 6 | Homefans | €716 |
| 2-hour sunset yacht | adventuro | €120 |
The football, with Homefans
Ultimate Istanbul Football Adventure was listed from €716. Dated departures checked on the page (6 November 2026, 4 December 2026, 29 January 2027 and 2 April 2027) were €766, with 6 spots on each. The group cap is 6.
Included: twin-share accommodation, a local guide, a stadium tour, and tickets for two matches. The page pairs clubs by weekend, including Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, and says the league can move kick-offs. Day 2 on their itinerary starts with a Fenerbahçe stadium tour, then a match. Day 3 is the second match. Those days are not free for a yacht.
A published guest review on that page says the host handled Passolig cards. The inclusions line says the match tickets are included. Confirm the Passolig step on the booking page before you pay. Homefans states free cancellation up to 7 days before, minus tickets or costs already secured.

The other day, with adventuro
Take the yacht on the afternoon you arrive, if the evening pub meet is late enough, or add a night after the football trip. Do not put it against a match day that starts with a stadium tour.
Sunset Yacht Cruise in Istanbul
From €120. About two hours, with drinks, canapés and hotel pickup. Group size 1 to 20. The listing sets the minimum age as all ages.
Sunset time shifts through the year. Book the yacht for your arrival afternoon, not the night before an early stadium tour, and confirm hotel pickup the day before. Traffic on the Bosphorus bridges can eat into a tight window.

Book both halves
Book the Homefans weekend first, because the fixture pairs can move. Then put the yacht on a window that is not a match day. Pay each site on its own page.

FAQs
Can I do the yacht on a match day?
The Homefans day 2 starts with a Fenerbahçe stadium tour and then a match. Day 3 is the second match. Use the arrival afternoon, or a night you add after the trip.
What is Passolig?
A published guest review on the Homefans page says the host handled Passolig cards for the games. The inclusions line says the match tickets are included. Confirm that step on the booking page. A Turkish league ticket is not a normal PDF you can ignore until the gate.
Are the from-prices the same on every date?
The listing started at €716. The four dated departures checked on 9 October 2026 were €766. Open the date before you budget it.
