Bosphorus Sunset Cruise in Istanbul | Private Yacht Tours
🎁 Spring Special: 10% Discount on All Purchases! Code: SPRING10
A yacht birthday is neither a restaurant nor a club — it’s a self-contained evening that starts when your group boards and ends when you decide. 3 hours is the standard booking; some extend to 5. You choose day or night, sunset or full dark, and the route follows the Bosphorus loop at a pace that suits socializing rather than sightseeing.
The yacht holds up to 12 people comfortably. Included: the boat, crew, soft drinks and Turkish snacks, and basic birthday decoration (banner, balloons in your choice of colours, candles). Add-ons: catering (Turkish, Mediterranean, or a fish-focused menu), alcoholic beverages, custom-decorated birthday cake, DJ with a preset playlist or your own Spotify playlist played through the onboard sound system, photography/videography.
The two most-popular setups: (1) sunset start with cake cutting during blue hour, followed by dinner on the return — sticks to 3 hours, works well for mixed-age groups; (2) late-evening start after the sunset tours finish, 5 hours with DJ, drinks and dancing — for younger adult birthdays, doesn’t include a formal meal.
Who this is for: birthdays of 4–12 guests where you want the event in one place. For larger groups, contact us about different vessel sizes. For a specific hen party, see bachelorette yacht party. For corporate birthdays or team celebrations, see corporate event.
Practical: 48 hours advance for cake and decoration. Let us know any dietary restrictions and music preferences.

Una serata da sogno per il mio compleanno. L’organizzazione è stata precisa e senza intoppi. Lo yacht era addobbato con buon gusto e il ponte superiore era il nostro regno per tutta la serata. Il servizio del personale è stato impeccabile e molto cortese.

As someone who hates traditional parties, this was a revelation. The ever-changing scenery kept things dynamic. The crew gave us space but was there instantly when needed. The birthday cake arrived with sparklers as we passed the Ortaköy Mosque—magical!

This is event planning at its finest. We gave a concept, they built the party. The food stations allowed guests to graze all night. The captain positioned the yacht for the best views of the fireworks (not from them, but it felt like it!). Seamless.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Nathan! Give us a concept and we build the party — that is our promise. Food stations for grazing, the captain positioning for the best views, and perfect execution. We are glad it was event planning at its finest! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

From the initial planning call to the final goodbye, everything was professional. The yacht was spotless, the crew was friendly, and the birthday setup (linens, cake, champagne) was elegant. Sailing at night with the bridges lit up is a must-do.

Thank you, Sebastian! From planning to goodbye, professionalism runs through everything we do. A spotless yacht, friendly crew, and a perfect birthday setup — we are glad every detail was right for you! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
