Lonely Planet review for Bosphorus Night Cruise
One of the most enjoyable, and certainly most romantic, night-time activities in İstanbul is to take a Bosphorus ferry. Enjoy the view back to the Old City, the twinkling lights, the fishing boats bobbing on the waves and the powerful searchlights of the ferries sweeping the sea lanes.
The best ferry to catch for this purpose is the one from Karaköy (just over the Galata Bridge from Eminönü) to Kadıköy. Just go to Karaköy, buy two tokens (for the voyages out and back) and walk on board. When you reach Kadıköy you could head into the backstreets and grab a bite to eat.
A shorter ride is the one from Eminönü to Üsküdar. When you alight in Üsküdar, you could have a delicious feed at Kanaat Lokantası, or turn right and walk around the coast to the çay bahçesis (tea gardens) near the Şemsi Paşa Camii (Şemsi Paşa Mosque). After a tea or two, continue on the popular waterside promenade past the famous Kız Kulesı (Maiden's Tower) - a gorgeous walk on a summer's evening.

Excellent value and brilliant way to see the city at night
decentdealer recommends this,
What was our original plan about Bosphorus cruise that we would be taking a boat during day time but we found out the great dinner cruise and we gave a try to enjoy Bosphorus at night. Then we found the dinner cruise on Bosphorus Tour Organisation site, [www.bosphorustour.com] and we made our order on phone number +90 554 797 26 46, why we used this company was that they were offering the best value among all those companies. There was free pick - up included in the arrangement and we were directly taken to the boat. We liked the welcome drink and dinner. The cruise staff were very polite and helpfull. The cruise itself was very clean and well orgenized. The entertainment program was very nice. I suggest this cruise to any traveler and will for sure visit it again on my next trip to Istanbul.
