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.

Это был самый романтичный вечер в нашей жизни. Аренда частной яхты VIP класса для предложения руки и сердца — идея была безупречной. Команда помогла организовать все детали, включая украшения. Полная приватность, шикарный яхт и вид на Девичью башню на закате. Спасибо за воплощение мечты!

View it not as an expense, but as an investment in a lifelong memory. The images of the sunset behind the Maiden’s Tower from our private Premium yacht are mental photographs we’ll ‘spend’ forever. The quality of the experience—from the solid feel of the yacht to the calm competence of the crew—ensures the memory remains sharp and positive.

Oltre alla bellezza del giro, è stato il servizio a lasciarci a bocca aperta. Professionalità assoluta. La prenotazione è stata semplice, la conferma immediata, l’imbarco puntuale. A bordo, l’equipaggio sa il fatto suo. Nella confusione di Istanbul, trovare un servizio così ben oliato è raro. Complimenti.

Искали уникальный подарок для родителей и нашли этот частный чартер. Заказали VIP яхту — родители были в восторге. Пространство, комфорт, виды.

Отметили годовщину свадьбы на частной яхте VIP класса. Это было абсолютно правильное решение. Пространство, комфорт, вид — всё на высшем уровне. Экипаж помог организовать небольшой сюрприз. Чувствовали себя как в сказке, плывя между двумя континентами. Незабываемые впечатления, стоит каждой копейки.

¡Sin multitudes, sin prisas! Alquilar un yate privado te permite disfrutar del Bósforo a tu ritmo. Elegimos el Premium y fue perfecto. Espacio para moverse, tumbarse en los cojines de la cubierta y disfrutar. El sonido del agua, las vistas… es una experiencia sensorial completa. La mejor inversión para una velada romántica.

Muchas gracias, Lucia! Exactamente, sin multitudes ni prisas — asi se disfruta el Bosforo de verdad. Nos alegra que el yate Premium les haya ofrecido el espacio y la libertad que buscaban. Les esperamos de vuelta! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

حلم تحقق بالنسبة لنا. خصوصية تامة ومناظر خلابة. اليخت (باقة Premium) كان في حالة ممتازة والطاقم ودود. تجربة الإبحار في البوسفور بهذه الطريقة الفاخرة والخاصة تجعلك تشعر بأن إسطنبول تفتح لك أحضانها بطريقة مختلفة. أنصح كل الأزواج بتجربتها، خاصة في المناسبات الخاصة.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
شكراً ليلى! سعداء أن الحلم تحقق لكم. الخصوصية التامة والمناظر الخلابة على متن يخت Premium هي ما نسعى لتقديمه لكل ضيوفنا. نتمنى أن نستقبلكم مرة أخرى! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

Устойчивость VIP яхты — это отдельный вид комфорта. Можно спокойно ходить, не держась за поручни, можно поставить бокал и он не упадёт. Это делает прогулку абсолютно расслабляющей. Виды, конечно, фантастические, но этот инженерный комфорт тоже много стоит. Для тех, кто ценит стабильность и плавность хода — только VIP.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Спасибо, Виктор! Устойчивость VIP яхты — это действительно отдельный вид комфорта. Спокойно ходить по палубе и ставить бокал без опасений — именно такой уровень мы стремимся обеспечить. Рады, что оценили! — Bosphorus Sunset Team

Absolute top-tier service. We compared several yacht charters and chose this for their transparent pricing. The Premium yacht was spacious, modern, and the route covered all iconic landmarks. The complimentary tea and coffee were a nice touch as we watched the city lights come on. A flawless private tour for our small family.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Thank you, Henrik! Transparent pricing is something we take pride in. We are pleased the Premium yacht delivered the modern, spacious experience you were looking for. Your comparison validates our commitment to quality! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
