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.

Uma perspectiva única que só um charter privado pode dar. Não há ângulos ruins, não há obstruções. A cidade desfila diante de você. Escolhemos o iate Premium e foi a decisão certa: espaço para aproveitar a viagem de diferentes maneiras. O serviço de chá e café é um detalhe simpático. Experiência cinco estrelas em todos os aspectos.

هدوء وأناقة لا مثيل لهما. استأجرنا اليخت الفاخر (VIP) وكانت التجربة استثنائية. الخصوصية كانت تامة والطاقم محترف للغاية. المشهد من على سطح اليخت بين قارتين هو شيء ساحر. أنصح كل من يريد تجربة إسطنبول الحقيقية أن يبدأ من هنا، من على الماء، بعيداً عن الزحام.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
شكراً لكِ لينا! سعداء جداً أن تجربة اليخت الفاخر VIP كانت استثنائية بالنسبة لكم. الخصوصية التامة والطاقم المحترف هما أساس خدمتنا. نتمنى رؤيتكم مجدداً على متن يخوتنا! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Sofia Hassan (verified owner) –
جولة خاصة بكامل معنى الكلمة. اليخت نظيف وفاخر والطاقم يحترم خصوصيتك تماماً. خيارات الباقات واضحة وسهلة. اخترنا الباقة الأساسية وكانت أكثر من كافية لنا. الإبحار في البوسفور بهذه الطريقة الهادئة والفاخرة يجعلك ترى إسطنبول بعين جديدة. أنصح به بشدة للأزواج.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
شكراً جزيلاً صوفيا! نحن سعداء أن اليخت الخاص كان نظيفاً وفاخراً كما توقعتم. احترام خصوصية ضيوفنا هو في صميم خدمتنا. نتطلع لخدمتكم مرة أخرى! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

Claridad desde el principio. La web explica perfectamente las diferencias entre los yates, sin ambigüedades. Elegimos el Essential y fue exactamente lo que esperábamos: íntimo, acogedor y con todas las comodidades básicas cubiertas. El recorrido es precioso y el capitán muy amable. Ideal para una primera vez en un charter privado.

Muchas gracias, Sofia! La claridad en la web es algo que cuidamos mucho. Nos alegra que la diferencia entre los paquetes fuera facil de entender y que el Essential cumpliera exactamente con sus expectativas. Les esperamos de nuevo! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
William Carter (verified owner) –
The flexibility is key. With a private charter, you’re not locked into a rigid schedule. We started a bit later to catch the sunset perfectly, and it was no issue. The captain adjusted the route to maximize the golden light on the Maiden’s Tower. This personalized attention is what turns a great service into an exceptional one.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, William! Flexibility is one of the greatest advantages of a private charter. Starting later to catch the perfect sunset — that is exactly the kind of personalized experience we love to create. Glad it worked out beautifully! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Eleanor Sharpe (verified owner) –
The hallmark of true luxury is discretion, and this crew mastered it. They were there when needed and invisible when not. On the Premium yacht, we felt we had total privacy to talk, laugh, and simply be. The Bosphorus unfurled before us like a private show. It’s the antithesis of a crowded group tour—personal, peaceful, and profoundly elegant.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you so much, Eleanor! We are delighted that the VIP yacht made your anniversary celebration truly special. The Bosphorus views from a private deck are indeed magical. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable cruise! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Eleanor! Discretion and attentive yet unobtrusive service is exactly what our crew strives for. We are delighted the Premium yacht gave you that perfect sense of luxury and privacy. We look forward to hosting you again! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Carmen Vega (verified owner) –
¡La mejor manera de celebrar! Alquilamos el yate Premium para el cumpleaños de mi esposo. La posibilidad de personalizar (añadimos un violinista) fue muy fácil. El yate es precioso, muy cómodo y con todas las comodidades. Navegar por el Bósforo con música en vivo fue mágico. Servicio de primera desde la reserva hasta el final.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Muchas gracias, Carmen! Que alegria que el cumpleanos de su esposo fuera tan especial. La posibilidad de personalizar la experiencia con un violinista es exactamente lo que hace unicas nuestras travesias. Felicidades! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Thomas Reed (verified owner) –
It provides the perfect ‘escape velocity’ from the city’s energy. Within minutes of leaving the dock, you’re in a different world, yet surrounded by its most iconic sights. The Essential yacht is your private capsule for this journey. It’s efficient, charming, and delivers the core promise of a private Bosphorus experience beautifully.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Thomas! “Escape velocity” — what a brilliant way to put it. Within minutes of leaving the dock, the Bosphorus transforms the experience into something truly serene. We are glad you felt that magic! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Alexei Volkov (verified owner) –
Если хотите произвести впечатление на деловых партнёров или особых гостей, это идеальный вариант. Аренда VIP яхты — это демонстрация высшего уровня гостеприимства в Стамбуле. Профессионализм экипажа, безупречный вид яхты и панорамы Босфора создают непререкаемый авторитет. Очень эффективно и незабываемо.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Спасибо, Алексей! VIP яхта — действительно идеальный формат для деловых встреч и особых гостей. Неформальная обстановка на фоне Босфора производит незабываемое впечатление. Рады, что смогли помочь! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
Benjamin Clarke (verified owner) –
Don’t underestimate the Essential package. It has its own charm. It’s cozy, intimate, and feels more like ‘sailing’ than the larger vessels. The captain was great, and for a shorter, sweet escape on the water, it’s perfect. It proves that luxury isn’t always about size; it’s about the exclusivity of the experience, which this delivers fully.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Benjamin! You are absolutely right — the Essential package has its own unique charm. The cozy, intimate feel of a smaller vessel gives a genuine sailing experience. Glad the captain made it special for you! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
