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.

We wanted a more chill, sophisticated birthday, not a rave. This was perfect. The light background music, the elegant seating, the gentle cruise. The bartenders made amazing non-alcoholic cocktails too. A classy, memorable way to turn a year older.

My 40th was a milestone, and this made it legendary. The yacht felt like our private club. The chef’s canapés were incredible, and the custom signature drink was a hit. Sailing past ancient palaces while celebrating with modern luxury is a wild contrast. Loved it.
