Yacht Rental

Private Hourly Yacht Rental on the Istanbul Bosphorus

If you truly want to see Istanbul, you need to see it from the water. The palaces, historic mansions, mosques and bridges lining both sides of the Bosphorus only reveal their full grandeur when viewed from the sea. And the most exclusive way to do this: a yacht that belongs entirely to you.

With our Istanbul yacht rental service, you never have to board a crowded tour boat. The yacht is exclusively yours. You choose the route, you choose the time, you set the pace. Whether it is a romantic evening for 2 or a grand event for 36, our fleet has the right yacht for you.
