The Bosphorus Cup is one of the most iconic sailing events in Turkey, bringing together top crews and magnificent yachts in the heart of Istanbul, where Europe meets Asia. This international regatta offers a truly unique racecourse along the Bosphorus Strait — a spectacular setting that blends competitive sailing with breathtaking city views.
As a professional sailing photographer based in Turkey, I covered the event to capture the energy of the races, the precision of teamwork on board, and the elegance of the boats gliding between two continents. The dynamic light, shifting winds, and rich contrasts of Istanbul make this regatta a dream for any yachting photographer.
Through my lens, I aimed to showcase the emotion, speed, and atmosphere that define the Bosphorus Cup — an event that highlights the growing spirit of sailing in Turkey and the beauty of this world-class racing venue.
