## Sunset Cruise with Dinner
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/bosphorus-sunset-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: 3 hours · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €45 (per guest · dinner & Turkish night show)

Dinner arrives as the sun drops behind the old city, and a live band plays while Istanbul lights up on both shores. This is our signature evening — a sociable sunset cruise with a full dinner and a Turkish night show, shared with other travellers or booked just for your group.

### Golden hour, then the lights
You board at the Karaköy pier and push out into the strait as the sun goes down behind the old city — Hagia Sophia and the Süleymaniye dark against a copper sky, the two bridges starting to glow overhead. Dinner is served on deck as the boat cruises past Dolmabahçe Palace, the Ortaköy mosque under the first bridge, and the lit-up waterfront of Bebek. By the time dessert comes round the city is fully lit and the party has warmed up.

### Dinner and a real show
The kitchen sends out a set menu — Turkish meze to start, a hot main, then fruit and sweets — with soft drinks included and a bar if you want one. Then the entertainment begins: live musicians and a folk-dance troupe, and before long half the deck is up dancing. It is a warm, loud evening, the kind you book when you want Istanbul to celebrate with you.

Included: Shared or private evening cruise; Set dinner — meze, hot main, dessert; Live Turkish night show & music; Soft drinks with dinner; Karaköy pier boarding; English-speaking crew on board.
Optional: Private whole-yacht upgrade; Drinks & bar package; Vegetarian, vegan or halal menu; Hotel transfer; Front-deck or window seating.
Good for: Travellers and groups who want a festive night out on the water rather than a quiet private charter.

- Q: Is dinner really included in the price? A: Yes — a set dinner of meze, a hot main and dessert comes with every seat, along with soft drinks. Beer, wine and spirits are a paid extra at the on-board bar.
- Q: What happens during the Turkish night show? A: Live musicians play through dinner, then a folk-dance troupe performs — usually with a short belly-dance set and an open floor for guests to join in.
- Q: Can I book the whole boat privately? A: Yes. The same cruise runs as a private charter for your group alone — ask us for a quote, or see the private sunset yacht cruise.
- Q: Where and when does it depart? A: From the Karaköy pier, timed to the sunset for your date so you are mid-strait for golden hour. We confirm the exact boarding time when you book.

## Dinner Cruise
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/bosphorus-dinner-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: 3–4 hours · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €40 (per guest · dinner & show)

Dinner on the water after dark, with the palaces floodlit and the bridges strung with light. A set menu and a live Turkish night show, at a shared table or on a yacht booked for your group.

### The strait after dark
The evening dinner cruise runs once the city is lit, and that changes everything you see. You board at Karaköy and head up past Dolmabahçe Palace glowing white at the water's edge, the Ortaköy mosque bright under the bridge, and the long span of the Bosphorus Bridge shifting colour overhead. Ferries and fishing boats strung with lights cross the current, and the Asian shore answers back over the water.

### A full evening, not just a meal
Dinner is a set Turkish menu that opens with cold meze and runs through a hot main to fruit and sweets, brought to the table as you sail, with soft drinks included. Live musicians play through the meal, and a folk-dance troupe has much of the deck on its feet by the end. Take a seat among other travellers, or book the whole boat for a private dinner cruise.

Included: Shared or private dinner cruise; Set Turkish dinner menu; Live music & night show; Soft drinks with dinner; Table service on deck; Karaköy pier boarding.
Optional: Private whole-yacht booking; Bar & drinks package; Special-diet menu; Birthday or anniversary cake; Hotel transfer.
Good for: Couples and groups who want dinner and a lively show with the lit-up Bosphorus for a backdrop.

- Q: How long is the dinner cruise? A: Three to four hours, which covers dinner, the show and a full loop of the illuminated strait. Boarding is around sunset; we confirm the time with your booking.
- Q: Is there entertainment as well as dinner? A: Yes — live music and a Turkish night show run through the evening, with a folk-dance set and an open floor once dinner is cleared.
- Q: Are drinks included? A: Soft drinks come with dinner. Beer, wine and spirits are available from the on-board bar, or as a pre-booked drinks package.
- Q: Can we have it privately? A: Yes. Take the whole yacht for your group and we run the same dinner and show just for you — ask for a private quote.

## Private Sunset Yacht Cruise
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/private-bosphorus-sunset-yacht-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: 2 hours · Capacity: 2–80 guests · Price: from €340 (per yacht (up to 10 guests))

The whole yacht, booked for your group, cast off to reach mid-strait as the sun goes down. No shared deck and no fixed script — only your people and the skyline of two continents as the light turns gold.

### Golden hour, kept private
We time the departure so you are out on the water as the sun drops behind the old city, minarets and domes going dark against a copper sky. Because the yacht is yours alone, the captain slows wherever you want — off the Ortaköy mosque, under the first bridge, along the Bebek shore — with no crowd between you and the view. As the light fades the palaces are floodlit and the bridges begin to glow.

### Set up for you
The base charter covers the yacht, its captain and crew, fuel and soft drinks, with room for up to ten on the standard boat and larger yachts for bigger groups. Add a bottle of wine for the toast, canapés, a photographer or music — tell us in advance and it is ready when you step aboard. Couples take this cruise for an anniversary or a quiet evening, and it is the boat behind our proposal set-ups.

Included: Whole yacht for your group; Captain & crew; Fuel & harbour fees; Soft drinks on board; Sunset-timed departure; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Wine, champagne & bar; Canapés or catering; Photographer; Music or playlist; Flowers & décor.
Good for: Couples, friends and small groups who want the sunset view without sharing the deck.

- Q: What time does the private sunset cruise leave? A: It is timed to the sunset for your date — usually boarding 45 to 60 minutes before sundown, so you are mid-strait for golden hour. We confirm the exact time with your booking.
- Q: How many people can come? A: The standard yacht takes up to ten guests; larger yachts carry up to eighty. Tell us your numbers and we match the boat.
- Q: Is this good for a proposal? A: Yes — the private deck and the golden light make it a favourite for proposals. See our marriage proposal page for the decorated set-up.
- Q: What is included in €340? A: The whole yacht, captain and crew, fuel and soft drinks for a two-hour sunset cruise. Drinks packages, catering, photography and décor are optional extras.

## Lunch Cruise
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/bosphorus-lunch-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: 3 hours · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €38 (per guest · lunch included)

The Bosphorus in full daylight, with lunch served as you sail. A relaxed midday cruise past the palaces and fortresses, at a shared table or on a yacht kept for your group.

### The strait by day
Daylight shows the Bosphorus its other face: turquoise water, the yalı mansions painted in their proper colours, fishermen along the rails and families out on the shore. You board at Karaköy and cruise past Dolmabahçe Palace, the Rumeli fortress on the European bank and Beylerbeyi Palace on the Asian side, the captain slowing for the sights and the photographs. It is calmer than the evening cruises and easy with children.

### Lunch as you go
Lunch is a Turkish spread of meze and a hot main, served on board as you sail, with a vegetarian option and soft drinks included. Take a single seat among other travellers for the best price, or book the whole yacht and set your own pace up the strait. Either way you are back at the pier by mid-afternoon with the day still ahead of you.

Included: Shared or private lunch cruise; Lunch served on board; Soft drinks with lunch; Daytime departure; Sightseeing along the strait; Karaköy pier boarding.
Optional: Private whole-yacht booking; Wine & drinks; Vegetarian or halal menu; Photographer; Hotel transfer.
Good for: Families and daytime travellers who would rather see the Bosphorus in sunlight than after dark.

- Q: Is lunch included? A: Yes — a Turkish lunch of meze and a hot main, with soft drinks, comes with every seat. Let us know about vegetarian, vegan or halal preferences when you book.
- Q: Is the lunch cruise suitable for children? A: Very — it runs in daylight, moves at an easy pace and has shaded deck seating. Families often prefer it to the evening cruises.
- Q: Can we book it privately? A: Yes. The whole yacht is available for your group, with the route and timing set to suit you — ask for a private quote.
- Q: How long is the cruise? A: About three hours up the strait and back, boarding around midday. We confirm the exact time with your booking.

## Sightseeing Cruise
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/bosphorus-sightseeing-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: 1.5–2 hours · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €25 (per guest)

A short, narrated loop of the Bosphorus for travellers who want the landmarks without a half-day at sea. You board at Karaköy and are back within a couple of hours, having run the length of the palaces and fortresses in between.

### The highlights, explained
The sightseeing cruise takes in the sights that line both banks: Dolmabahçe Palace and its clock tower, the Ortaköy mosque under the first bridge, the medieval Rumeli fortress that once choked the strait, and the wooden yalı mansions built for old Istanbul families. A commentary points out what you are passing on the European and Asian shores, so you leave knowing the city and not just its photographs.

### Short and good value
At 90 minutes to two hours this is the quickest way onto the water, and the cheapest — a single seat costs less than lunch on shore. It pairs well with a morning in the old city or a guided tour, and if you would rather have the deck to yourselves, the same route runs as a private charter.

Included: Shared or private sightseeing cruise; Live or recorded commentary; Views of palaces, fortresses & bridges; Soft drinks on board; Karaköy pier boarding.
Optional: Private whole-yacht booking; Snacks & drinks; Longer route up the strait; Guided old-city tour add-on; Hotel transfer.
Good for: First-time visitors and anyone short on time who still wants to get out on the Bosphorus.

- Q: How long is the sightseeing cruise? A: Ninety minutes to two hours, depending on the boat and the traffic on the water. It is the shortest cruise we run.
- Q: Is there commentary? A: Yes — the main landmarks on both shores are pointed out as you pass, in English alongside other languages depending on the sailing.
- Q: Which sights does it cover? A: Dolmabahçe Palace, the Ortaköy mosque, the Rumeli fortress, the first Bosphorus bridge and the yalı mansions of the lower strait, among others.
- Q: Can I combine it with a tour? A: Yes — many guests pair it with a guided Istanbul tour or a sunset cruise later the same day. Ask us and we will line up the timing.

## Bosphorus & Black Sea Cruise
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/full-day-bosphorus-and-black-sea-cruise
Category: cruise · Duration: Full day · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €55 (per guest · full day)

The Bosphorus from end to end — all the way up to where it opens into the Black Sea. A full day on the water with a lunch stop at the fishing village of Anadolu Kavağı and time ashore before the run back.

### All the way to the Black Sea
Most cruises turn back at the second bridge; this one keeps going. You sail the whole strait past the palaces of the lower Bosphorus, under both suspension bridges, past the Rumeli and Anadolu fortresses and the villages of Emirgan, Yeniköy and Sarıyer, to the point where the channel widens and the open Black Sea shows ahead. The shores turn green and steep, the yalı mansions give way to fishing harbours, and the water changes colour.

### Lunch and a village stop
The boat ties up at Anadolu Kavağı, a fishing village under a ruined Byzantine castle, with a couple of hours ashore. Climb to the Yoros fortress for the view over the Black Sea mouth, or settle into a quayside restaurant for grilled fish and meze before the cruise back down the strait. Bring walking shoes and a jacket — the top of the strait runs cooler and breezier than the city.

Included: Full-day cruise up the Bosphorus; Stop at Anadolu Kavağı village; Time ashore for lunch & the fortress; Commentary on the sights; Soft drinks on board; Karaköy pier boarding.
Optional: Private whole-yacht charter; Reserved seafood lunch ashore; Guided walk to Yoros fortress; Drinks package; Hotel transfer.
Good for: Travellers with a day to spare who want the whole strait, not just the postcard stretch.

- Q: How long is the full-day cruise? A: Most of the day — a morning departure from Karaköy, several hours sailing up and back, and a couple of hours ashore at Anadolu Kavağı. You are back in the city by late afternoon or early evening.
- Q: Is lunch included? A: Lunch ashore is not in the base seat price, so you can pick your own restaurant in the village. We are glad to reserve a fish lunch, or add catering on a private charter.
- Q: What is there to do at Anadolu Kavağı? A: It is a small fishing village with quayside seafood restaurants and a steep walk up to the ruined Yoros fortress, which looks out over the mouth of the Black Sea.
- Q: Can we do it privately? A: Yes — the whole yacht can be chartered for the day, with your own timing and a lunch stop of your choosing. Ask for a full-day quote.

## Private Yacht Charter
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/private-bosphorus-yacht-charter
Category: cruise · Duration: Flexible · Capacity: 2–80 guests · Price: from €340 (per yacht, per 2 hours)

The whole yacht, crewed and yours to use however the day needs — a cruise, a dinner, a party or a photo shoot. You set the route and the timing; the captain and crew handle the rest.

### One boat, your plan
A charter is the open-ended option: you hire the yacht and its crew and decide what to do with the time. Some groups want a two-hour loop of the palaces at sunset; others take the boat for a long afternoon of swimming stops up the strait, a family lunch, or a film shoot with the skyline behind them. We match the yacht to your numbers, from a ten-guest boat to one that seats eighty.

### Crewed and ready
Every charter comes with a captain and deck crew, fuel and harbour fees, and soft drinks on board. From there you build the day — catering and a bar, a DJ or live music, décor, a photographer, hotel transfers — and we arrange it and run the logistics on the water. Pricing starts at €340 for two hours, with hourly and full-day rates for longer hires.

Included: Whole yacht chartered; Captain & crew; Fuel & harbour fees; Soft drinks on board; Your route & timing; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Catering & bar; DJ or live music; Photographer or film crew; Swimming stops up the strait; Décor & flowers.
Good for: Any group that wants the whole boat for a few hours — a celebration, an outing or a shoot.

- Q: How much does it cost to charter a yacht? A: From €340 for two hours on the standard yacht, up to ten guests. Larger yachts and longer hires are quoted by the hour or the day — tell us your plan and numbers.
- Q: Is a crew included? A: Always. Every charter comes with a captain and deck crew, plus fuel and harbour fees. You are never expected to handle the boat.
- Q: What can we use the charter for? A: Cruises, dinners, birthdays, corporate days, engagements, photo and film shoots — anything that suits a private crewed yacht on the Bosphorus.
- Q: Can we go swimming? A: On a longer daytime charter, yes — the captain can anchor in a quiet bay up the strait for a swim. Ask when you book so we plan the time and the route.

## Guided Istanbul Tour
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/guided-istanbul-tour
Category: tour · Duration: Full or half day · Capacity: Private guide · Price: from €90 (per guide · small group)

A licensed private guide for the old city — the monuments of Sultanahmet at a pace set by your group, not a tour bus. Half a day or a full one, and easily paired with a cruise later on.

### The old city, properly explained
Your guide meets you in Sultanahmet and walks you through imperial Istanbul monument by monument: Hagia Sophia, 1,500 years of Byzantine and Ottoman history under one dome; the Blue Mosque with its cascade of domes and six minarets; Topkapı Palace, seat of the sultans, above the point where the Bosphorus meets the Golden Horn; the Hippodrome where chariots once raced; and the covered lanes of the Grand Bazaar. It is a lot of ground, made sense of by someone who knows it.

### Yours to shape
Because the guide is private, the day bends to you. Add the Basilica Cistern or the Süleymaniye mosque, slow down for lunch in a backstreet lokanta, skip the queues with tickets arranged ahead, or cut the walking for older travellers. Guiding is charged per guide rather than per head, so a family or small group pays one rate — and we can hand you straight to a boat afterwards for a sunset cruise.

Included: Licensed private guide; Half or full day, your pace; Old-city walking route; Itinerary planned with you; Meeting point at your hotel or Sultanahmet.
Optional: Monument entry tickets; Skip-the-line arrangements; Private car & driver; Lunch at a local lokanta; Bosphorus cruise the same day.
Good for: First-time visitors who want the old city explained by a licensed guide, at their own pace.

- Q: What does the guided tour cover? A: The core is Sultanahmet — Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar. We tailor the route to your interests and the time you have.
- Q: Are entry tickets included? A: The price is for the guide; monument tickets are paid separately, which lets you choose exactly which sites to enter. We can buy them ahead to skip the queues.
- Q: Is it private or a group tour? A: Private — the guide is yours, charged per guide rather than per person, so a couple, a family or a small group all pay the one rate.
- Q: Can we add a Bosphorus cruise? A: Yes, and many do — a morning tour of the old city and a sunset cruise the same evening. Tell us and we will arrange the timing and the transfer.

## Princes’ Islands Tour
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/princes-islands-tour
Category: tour · Duration: Full day · Capacity: Shared or private · Price: from €55 (per guest · full day)

A day away from the traffic on the Princes’ Islands, the old summer retreat in the Sea of Marmara. Ferry out to Büyükada, the biggest of them, where cars are banned and the pace drops to a walk.

### A car-free island
Büyükada has kept cars off its streets for over a century, so the island runs on bikes, electric carts and horse-drawn phaetons. You come off the ferry into a small town of wooden mansions and cafés, then head up through pine woods to viewpoints over the sea. The grand timber houses were built as summer homes by Istanbul’s Greek, Armenian and Jewish families, and many still stand behind their gardens — Trotsky spent four years of his exile in one of them.

### How the day runs
The crossing takes in the Sea of Marmara and a receding view of the old-city skyline before the island comes up ahead. Ashore you have free time to ride the shore road, take a phaeton up to the old monastery of Aya Yorgi, swim off one of the beaches, or just eat well — the quayside restaurants do the seafood the islands are known for. Then the ferry back as the light drops over the water.

Included: Return ferry to Büyükada; Full day on the island; Free time to explore; Guidance on what to see & do; Central Istanbul meeting point.
Optional: Private guide for the day; Bike or phaeton hire; Reserved seafood lunch; Fast-ferry upgrade; Hotel transfer.
Good for: Travellers who want a slow day out of the city, on foot, bike or phaeton by the sea.

- Q: How do we get to the islands? A: By ferry across the Sea of Marmara from central Istanbul to Büyükada. The ordinary ferry takes around an hour; a fast ferry is quicker, and we can arrange either.
- Q: Are there really no cars? A: Correct — Büyükada bans private cars. You get around on foot, by bicycle, on an electric cart, or in a horse-drawn phaeton.
- Q: Is lunch included? A: Not in the base price, so you can choose your own quayside restaurant. We are glad to reserve a seafood lunch or add a private guide for the day.
- Q: Can we have a guide? A: Yes — a licensed guide can travel with you and show you the mansions, the monastery and the island’s history. Ask us to add one.

## Marriage Proposal
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/marriage-proposal-on-the-bosphorus
Category: celebration · Duration: 1.5–2 hours · Capacity: Private · Price: from €390 (per charter · décor included)

A private yacht, decorated and timed to sunset, for the question you only ask once. We set the deck and correspond only with you, so all your partner knows is that they are stepping onto a boat.

### Set to the light
The proposal runs as a private sunset charter arranged in advance. As the yacht reaches the middle of the strait and the sun drops behind the old city, the deck is ready — flowers, a ‘Will you marry me?’ banner if you want one, and champagne on ice. Your partner steps aboard knowing nothing but the boat trip; the rest is the surprise you signed off beforehand, down to the flowers they like and the song you want playing.

### The moment, kept
A photographer can be placed in advance so the moment is caught without your partner ever spotting a camera, and you step off with the ring on and the photos ready to share. We plan it all over WhatsApp — décor, timing, music, the photographer — and write only to you. Two to three weeks’ notice is ideal, though we have pulled proposals together in 48 hours.

Included: Private yacht at sunset; Captain & crew; Deck décor & flowers; ‘Will you marry me?’ banner; Champagne on board; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Photographer or videographer; Musician for the moment; Dinner or catering; Larger yacht for a group celebration; Hotel transfer.
Good for: Anyone planning a surprise proposal in Istanbul — a few weeks’ notice ideal, a rush possible.

- Q: Can you keep it a surprise? A: Yes — we write only to you, so your partner arrives to a finished set-up they knew nothing about. As far as they know, it is simply a boat trip.
- Q: Is a photographer included? A: A photographer is an optional extra, placed discreetly in advance so the moment is caught naturally. The photos are sent to you afterwards.
- Q: How far ahead should we book? A: Two to three weeks is comfortable for arranging décor, a photographer and the timing, but rush proposals can be organised in as little as 48 hours.
- Q: What does the price cover? A: From €390 for the private sunset yacht with flowers, a banner and champagne. Photography, music, dinner and a larger yacht are priced on top.

## Yacht Wedding
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/yacht-wedding-in-istanbul
Category: celebration · Duration: Flexible · Capacity: Up to 80 guests · Price: On request (tailored to your day)

A wedding on the Bosphorus, on a yacht that is yours for the day. A ceremony under the bridges and a reception on deck, with the skyline of two continents behind you and the details handled for you.

### A wedding on the water
For couples who want something smaller and less ordinary than a hotel ballroom, the yacht becomes the venue. The ceremony takes place on deck as the boat cruises — often timed so the vows fall at sunset — and rolls straight into a reception with dinner, drinks and music as the city lights up on both shores. It works for an elopement of two and for a party of eighty.

### Arranged around you
We coordinate the whole day: flowers and décor, catering and the cake, a celebrant, a DJ or live band, photography, and the timing on the water. You approve a plan and a clear quote, and we run the logistics so you are free to be married rather than managing suppliers. The Bosphorus does the rest.

Included: Private yacht for the day; Captain & crew; Ceremony deck set-up & flowers; Reception space on board; Full coordination of the day; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Catering & wedding cake; Celebrant or officiant; DJ or live band; Photographer & videographer; Premium décor & lighting.
Good for: Couples who want an intimate wedding on the water rather than in a hall or hotel.

- Q: How many guests can a yacht wedding take? A: From an elopement for two up to around eighty guests, depending on the yacht. We match the boat to your guest list and the kind of day you want.
- Q: Do you organise the whole wedding? A: Yes — flowers, catering, the cake, a celebrant, music, photography and the timing are all coordinated. You approve the plan; we run the day.
- Q: Can the ceremony be at sunset? A: Yes, and most couples choose it — the cruise is timed so the vows fall at golden hour with the city behind you.
- Q: How is it priced? A: Weddings are quoted to your day — the yacht, the guest count, catering and the extras you choose. Tell us your plans and we send a clear proposal.

## Birthday on a Yacht
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/yacht-birthday-party
Category: celebration · Duration: 2–3 hours · Capacity: 2–80 guests · Price: from €390 (per charter)

A birthday on the water, with the whole yacht for your crowd. Your playlist on the speakers and a cake on deck, the lit-up strait sliding past as the night gets going.

### A venue that moves
Hire the yacht and it becomes your private venue for the night — no last orders from a bar, no other tables next to yours. Your group boards at Karaköy and the deck is theirs for music, dancing, drinks and dinner while the illuminated Bosphorus slides by. It suits a milestone birthday, a surprise party, or a low-key evening for a handful of close friends.

### We handle the details
Bring your own playlist or add a DJ, a cake and catering, a bar package, balloons and décor, and a photographer to catch the night. The base charter covers the yacht, its crew and soft drinks; everything on top is built to your budget and priced up front. Tell us the numbers and the mood and we set it up.

Included: Whole yacht for your group; Captain & crew; Fuel & harbour fees; Sound system for your playlist; Soft drinks on board; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Birthday cake & catering; Bar & drinks package; DJ or live music; Balloons & décor; Photographer.
Good for: Milestone and surprise birthdays, and any group that wants a private venue on the water.

- Q: Can we play our own music? A: Yes — plug your playlist into the sound system, or add a DJ. The deck is private, so the party runs to your schedule, not a venue’s.
- Q: Do you sort the cake and food? A: Both are optional add-ons. Give us the numbers and any preferences and we arrange the cake, the catering and a bar package.
- Q: How many people can come? A: From a small group up to around eighty, depending on the yacht. Tell us your headcount and we match the boat.
- Q: How long is the party? A: Two to three hours as standard, with longer charters on request. Boarding time is yours to set within the evening.

## Private Yacht Events
URL: https://sunsetbosphoruscruise.com/private-yacht-events
Category: celebration · Duration: Flexible · Capacity: Up to 80 guests · Price: On request (corporate & group)

The whole yacht as your venue for the day or the evening — a corporate event, a team dinner, a launch or a group celebration. Private, crewed, and arranged around your plan against a backdrop no room on land can match.

### A venue for the occasion
Beyond cruises and family celebrations, the yachts host corporate hospitality, product launches, team days and client dinners. The whole boat is private, so the guest list, the running order and any branding are yours to set. We match the yacht to your numbers, from an intimate dinner for a dozen to a reception for eighty.

### Fully run for you
Catering and a bar, AV and staging, décor, photography, transfers from your hotel or office — we bring in what the event needs and run the logistics on the water. You get one point of contact and one clear quote, and your guests get an evening on the Bosphorus they will still be talking about at the next one.

Included: Whole yacht chartered; Captain & crew; Fuel & harbour fees; Flexible schedule & route; Event coordination; Karaköy pier meeting point.
Optional: Corporate catering & bar; AV, staging & branding; DJ or live music; Photographer or film crew; Hotel or office transfers.
Good for: Companies and groups planning an event that a meeting room or restaurant cannot hold.

- Q: What kinds of events can you host? A: Corporate hospitality, product launches, team days, client and team dinners, engagements and group celebrations — anything suited to a private crewed yacht on the Bosphorus.
- Q: How many guests fit? A: Up to around eighty for a reception, fewer for a seated dinner. Tell us your numbers and we match the yacht and the layout.
- Q: How is it priced? A: Events are quoted to the plan — the yacht, the length of hire, catering and the elements you add. Send us the brief and we come back with a clear proposal.
- Q: Can you handle catering and AV? A: Yes — catering, a bar, sound and staging, décor and transfers are all arranged through us, so you deal with one team, not five.
