Yacht Birthday Party
Birthday party on a yacht, up to 12 guests
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.

The ultimate birthday bash. We had a mix of chill lounge music inside and upbeat tunes on the flybridge. The crew’s service was seamless—glasses were never empty. Watching the city lights reflect on the water as we danced was surreal. Highly recommend!

They made me feel special all night. The crew knew it was my birthday and kept the surprises coming. The yacht itself is a beauty, and cruising past Topkapi Palace felt historically cool. A unique, luxurious, and incredibly fun way to celebrate.
