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.

Отметили день рождения приватно и с размахом. Аренда яхты VIP — это как иметь свой собственный плавучий ресторан и смотровую площадку. Пространство позволяет и поужинать, и потанцевать, и просто любоваться городом. Экипаж помог организовать торт и напитки. Полный восторг, все гости в восхищении!

Un momento di pura magia per noi due. La charter privata ci ha dato ciò che cercavamo: intimità e bellezza. Lo yacht Essential, nonostante il nome, è comunque molto curato e confortevole. Bere un tè osservando il Palazzo di Dolmabahçe da così vicino è un ricordo indelebile. Servizio semplice, diretto e di grande effetto.
Bosphorus Sunset Team –
Grazie, Chiara! Intimita e bellezza — esattamente quello che il Bosforo offre a bordo di uno yacht privato. Anche lo yacht Essential e pensato per regalare momenti magici. Congratulazioni e a presto! — Bosphorus Sunset Team
