Why book a large yacht for a small group?
For the space. Plenty of yachts that carry 12 guests are far smaller, our 13-metre Aura for example. Amesin N measures 26 metres, so twelve people can spread over the deck and saloon rather than sit squeezed together. Pick it when comfort counts for more than fitting in extra people: a family celebration, a dinner with clients, or a special day for a couple who want room around them.
How does it compare with other yachts for 12 guests?
| Yacht for 12 or fewer | Size and features | Starting price |

| VIP yacht experience | Premium service, includes hotel transfers | $600 per hour |
Which route can you take from Arnavutkoy?
Arnavutkoy is a Bosphorus village famous for its line of old wooden houses along the water. It is a few minutes from Bebek, Rumeli Fortress and the bridges. Before you leave, you plan the route with the captain: north to the fortresses and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, south past Ortakoy and the Bosphorus Bridge to the Dolmabahce and Beylerbeyi palaces, or both directions on a longer charter.
Are you allowed to bring food and drinks?
Yes. Bring your own and the crew will serve it on the yacht's porcelain and crystal. The fridge and deep freezer keep it all cold. The galley is for catering teams only, and you can order catering menus as extras.
What rules apply on board?
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum booking | 2 hours |
| Cabins | 2 cabins, closed on hourly charters |
| Swimming | Swim stops are possible on charters of 4 hours or more |
| Prohibited | Confetti, fireworks, torches, barbecues and flammable materials |
| Full-day charter | Possible; ask us for the day rate |
If the coast guard closes the Bosphorus or the captain judges it unsafe to go out, you can switch to another date or get a full refund.
When is the best time to go out?
Late spring and early autumn are perfect for a long lunch on deck. From Arnavutkoy, summer evenings and sunsets are lovely, and the bridges light up once it is dark. Summer charters of 4 hours or longer can include a stop to swim.
What to bring?
Bring food and drinks unless you order catering, along with a playlist for the Bluetooth speakers, a light jacket, sunglasses and soft-soled shoes for the deck.
How can you book?
Pick a date on this page and submit the form, or send us a WhatsApp message with your group size, the number of hours and the departure time you prefer. We can arrange hotel transfers to Arnavutkoy on request. We confirm in writing, and you pay only once it is confirmed. For more options, browse our Istanbul tours and Turkey tour packages.
