What the community said

According to a newer report, ferries from Eminönü toward Bursa via Mudanya may run roughly hourly, with departures around 08:00 and 09:00 and a last sailing at about 15:00. This suggests Eminönü may be more practical than the previously noted single early departure; check the timetable before travelling.

Eminönü: roughly hourly, about 08:00–15:00

A practical schedule: the ferry from Kabataş departs around 8:00–8:30 and arrives in Mudanya, where a bus to Bursa waits right at the pier. The return ferry from Mudanya back toward Istanbul leaves around 16:00–16:30. From Bursa city center, take the metro and then a bus to reach the ferry terminal.

Kabataş → Mudanya, 8:00–8:30 / return 16:00–16:30

Ferries to Bursa (via Mudanya) depart from Kabataş and Kadıköy piers, with a journey time of roughly 1.5 hours. Eminönü has only one early morning departure, so Kabataş or Kadıköy are the more practical options.

Piers: Kabataş, Kadıköy (Eminönü — one early morning only)
