THE ARMADA BOAT
Traces of Hayreddin Paşa on the Ahırkapı coast....

THE ARMADA BOAT

The birth of the Armada Hotel, started towards the end of the 1980s when a row of burnt down wooden houses just behind the city walls was first seen and learning that they belonged to the row houses built by Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha for his marine on the Ahırkapı coast in the historical center of Istanbul. 

The Armada team always asked itself that same fundamental question during conceptual designing: “If Istanbul’s historical integrity had been properly preserved, what would it look like today?” Everything outside and inside has been shaped according to the answers to this question. Thus, the Armada Hotel has been providing good feelings to those who are looking for “Istanbul” in today’s Istanbul since 1994 when it was put into service.
 



THE BIRTH OF THE ARMADA BOAT

In 2011, it was time to take ownership of the waters that make Istanbul “Istanbul”. The time had come for the Armada Touring Boat to protect and preserve the value of Istanbul’s waterfronts.
As with the design of the hotel, the boat was designed with the same fundamental questions in mind: “What was it about Istanbul’s excursion boats of old that made them special? What made them so charming that people still miss them today? If they had been properly preserved, what kind of excursion boat would we see today?”
The team immersed itself in the process of carefully considering everything from design, to materials, to every aspect of the interior decor, from pots and pans to forks, knives, and even ice buckets in order to create a proper touring and fine dining experience. The time finally came for SBO Yacthing’s shipyard in Tuzla to build the boat. 
This is the short story of “The Armada Boat” which was launched for the first time on July 16, 2012 and made available to everyone in order to be suitable for Istanbul's identity and seas.
