Marinas

Setur Kalamış Marina

This is the official event marina. It is on Istanbul’s Asian side, in Kalamış—an established and active sailing district.

The source page mentions a special rate for Bosphorus Cup competitors, but a 2026 rate has not been confirmed in this prototype.

Setur Marinas website

Ataköy Marina

Ataköy Marina is an alternative on Istanbul’s European side. The source page also mentions a competitor rate here; confirm availability and terms directly with the marina for 2026.

The working office and official race centre are at Istanbul Sailing Club (İstanbul Yelken Kulübü). The club is in the park west of Setur Kalamış Marina, approximately a ten-minute walk from the marina.

Airport transfers
