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.

Made a huge splash for my birthday. The combination of luxury (fine china, linens) and fun (great DJ, dance floor) was spot on. The crew was part of the team, ensuring everyone had a drink and a smile. An extraordinary way to see and celebrate in Istanbul.

Absolutely spectacular way to celebrate my 30th! The crew were attentive ninjas, the sunset over the Maiden’s Tower was unreal, and the custom cake presentation was a showstopper. Our DJ kept the energy perfect all night. Worth every penny for a unique Istanbul memory.

Un servizio di altissimo livello. L’organizzatore ha ascoltato tutte le nostre richieste e le ha realizzate alla perfezione. La scelta dei tessuti per i tavoli era molto raffinata. La crociera al tramonto sul Bosforo è un’esperienza romantica e gioiosa.

Fue todo perfecto. La comunicación previa para personalizar el menú fue fácil. El yate es incluso mejor que en las fotos. La zona de sonido en la cubierta principal era genial para bailar. El recorrido al atardecer es lo más bonito que he visto.

Compleanno perfetto! Lo yacht è spazioso e ben attrezzato, l’equipaggio professionale e la rotta del Bosforo regala panorami mozzafiato. La musica di sottofondo era piacevole e non invasiva. Consiglio di aggiungere lo spettacolo con le luci, vale la pena.
