The boat belongs entirely to your group. You choose the route, you set the duration, you create the programme.

Whether it is a romantic outing for two or a celebration for 30 guests, our fleet has the right boat for every group. Captain, crew, fuel, insurance, everything is included. Just step aboard and enjoy.

How Does Boat Rental Work?

The process is simple and fast:

1. Get in touch: Tell us your group size, preferred date, and type of event.
2. Choose the boat together: We recommend the most suitable boat based on your group size and event type.
3. Confirm your reservation: The date and time are finalised, and your booking is secured with a deposit.
4. Arrive at the pier: Board the yacht at the designated meeting point. The captain and crew welcome you.
5. Enjoy the Bosphorus: The route and pace are entirely in your control. Stop wherever you like, stay as long as you want.

How We Differ from Crowded Tour Boats

When people hear "boat tour" in Istanbul, they usually think of crowded tour boats: fixed route, fixed duration, sharing a boat with strangers. What we offer is entirely different.

• Private charter: The boat belongs exclusively to your group. No other guests.
• Flexible route: We have a standard Bosphorus route, but if you want a different itinerary, we plan it together.
• Flexible duration: From 2 hours to 12 hours, whatever you prefer. No minimum or maximum pressure.
• Flexible programme: Stop wherever you want, take photos, swim (season permitting).
• Modern yachts: Well-maintained, clean, comfortable motor yachts. Not sailboats, but modern yacht comfort.

Enhance your boat rental however you like:

• Dining service: From breakfast to dinner, meze plates to custom menus. Maximum 30 guests for catered events.
• Cake: Bring your own celebration cake or order one through us.
