Halas
Built in 1914 as a passenger ferry, the Halas was originally named the M/Y Reshid Pasha. The Halas 71 has a long and rich history which runs parallel to that of the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the founding of the Turkish Republic. Initially purchased in March of 1914 by the Ottoman Government, later her name was officially changed to Halas, meaning deliverance. The Halas was used as a passenger ferry on the Bosporus for 65 years. She was the largest ferryboat with a capacity of 1053 passengers in summer and 961 passengers in winter. She was popular with school children especially during the summer holidays when she was their favorite picnic boat. The Halas accomodates up to 24 guests in absolute comfort and luxury.
