Yacht Charter in Istanbul
Yacht charter in Istanbul, hourly or full-day
The open-ended option: rent a yacht in Istanbul for whatever reason brought you here. Small celebrations, photo shoots, a family afternoon on the water, a meeting that needed to happen somewhere unusual, a film location. We’ve done all of these. The boat is the same one used for the private sunset and dinner cruises — up to 12 people, with an indoor cabin, open decks, and a professional crew including an English-speaking captain.
Minimum booking is 2 hours at €364. Beyond that: half-day (4 hours) and full-day (8 hours) packages have discounted hourly rates. Routes are flexible — full Bosphorus loop, Black Sea mouth and back, just the first bridge area for photography, or anchoring somewhere quiet for the afternoon. The captain advises on what’s feasible for your time window.
Extras you can add at booking: catering (Turkish, Mediterranean, or specific dietary), alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, rakı, or a specific list), onboard DJ or acoustic musician, photography/videography package, and floral or themed decoration for celebrations.
Who this is for: anyone whose need doesn’t match a packaged tour — creative shoots, corporate half-days, extended family outings, unusual meetings. For specific occasions, the named packages (wedding, proposal, corporate) include occasion-specific setup at no extra boat cost.
Practical: book as far ahead as possible in high season (May–October); 24 hours advance is the minimum.

La folla scompare. Questo è il più grande vantaggio. Visitare Istanbul e poi godersi il Bósforo lontano da tutti gli altri turisti è un privilegio. Il pacchetto Essential offre proprio questo: la libertà di avere un angolo di paradiso tutto per sé, senza spendere una fortuna. Servizio eccellente e sensazione unica.

The VIP yacht’s stability is no joke. We had friends who get seasick easily, and they were completely fine. The smooth sailing allowed everyone to fully relax and enjoy the views. The deck space is fantastic for group photos. It’s more than a yacht; it’s a stable, luxurious platform for creating perfect memories on the water.

Noleggiare uno yacht privato a Istanbul è stata la scelta migliore. La confusione della città scompare, resta solo il lusso del silenzio e del panorama. Abbiamo scelto il pacchetto Premium e la stabilità era eccellente. Il servizio dell’equipaggio, discreto e attento, ha fatto la differenza. Esperienza indimenticabile.

The cruise is like a visual symphony, and you have the best box seat. Each movement reveals a new landmark: the fortress (powerful), the mosque (graceful), the bridge (modern). On a private charter, you control the volume—you can discuss it or enjoy it in silence. The Premium yacht was our perfect, private concert hall on the water.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Arthur! A visual symphony with the best box seat — what a poetic description of the Bosphorus cruise. Each landmark revealing itself as you sail past is truly a unique way to experience Istanbul. We are honored! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

Un sogno realizzato. La possibilità di avere uno yacht completamente privato con equipaggio solo per noi due ha reso il nostro anniversario speciale. Il pacchetto VIP offre una stabilità eccezionale, quasi non si sente il movimento del mare. Vedere la fortezza di Rumeli dall’acqua, al tramonto, è un’immagine che porteremo sempre nel cuore.

Il lusso semplice e autentico. Niente eccessi, solo qualità dei materiali, comfort e un servizio discreto. La nostra scelta sul pacchetto Premium è stata perfetta per una serata elegante ma non formale. Il tramonto visto dal ponte è uno di quei momenti che ti fanno sentire fortunati. Esperienza super raccomandata.

The seating was plush, the lines of the yacht were beautiful, and the journey felt timeless. It’s how you imagine the golden age of travel, but available today on the Bosphorus. Simply superb.

Выбрали пакет Premium как золотую середину — и не ошиблись. Яхта достаточно просторная, очень комфортная и выглядит солидно. Маршрут продуман идеально: все главные достопримечательности показаны с лучших ракурсов. Экипаж вежливый и ненавязчивый. Отличный баланс цены и качества для приватной прогулки.
