Üsküdar to Eminönü Ferry: Timetable, Fares and Return Trips

Choose your direction and travel date. Every scheduled departure for that day appears below; reverse the direction for your return. Saturday includes the two early sailings excluded on Sundays and public holidays. Times are local Istanbul time. Check the departure display and service notices before relying on the final ferry.

Weekday and Saturday departures start at 06:25; Sunday and public-holiday service starts at 07:00. The last listed departure is 22:00. The full day lists below keep the early-service exclusions separate. Some sailings call at Karaköy and others leave that stop blank. Use the Üsküdar departure column for your outbound journey; a Karaköy entry is not an extra Üsküdar departure.

The first weekday and Saturday departure from Eminönü is 06:40; Sundays and public holidays begin at 07:20. The last published return is 22:30. This is the independent Eminönü departure list, not the Üsküdar timetable shifted by a guessed journey time. If your return is essential, check the selected date and current service notices before boarding the outward ferry.

The full Şehir Hatları Istanbulkart fare for Üsküdar–Eminönü is TRY 58.52 per crossing, checked 3 November 2026. The physical card costs extra; discounted or transfer categories have their own eligibility rules. Our Istanbulkart buying and top-up guide explains the card and balance. This is the fare for the named pair and operator, not a ticket for every boat departing from either waterfront. Check another operator’s payment terms separately.

The starred early sailings run on weekdays and Saturdays, but not on Sundays or public holidays. The selector applies the stored season, 7 September 2026 to 27 June 2027, and the known holiday calendar. Where a half-day holiday’s service rule is unconfirmed, it directs you to the official timetable instead of guessing a full-day list. A blank Karaköy call does not imply a stop or a guaranteed connection. Published times do not confirm that a ferry is running today.

From Üsküdar, use the Üsküdar–Kuzguncuk waterfront walk. At Eminönü, the Beyoğlu, Galata and Eminönü walking route provides context for the Galata Bridge end. Choose the return direction and check its last departure before starting your walk.

If you continue from Üsküdar to Kadıköy, check the ferry from Üsküdar to Kadıköy and choose the direction and service date for that onward journey.

For a different journey along the European shore, use the Eminönü–Beşiktaş ferry guide to compare the named passenger lines, both directions and service-day conditions.
