Overview

Istanbul Mega Yacht Charter: Private Bosphorus Party for 1-40 Guests

Our fleet's biggest boat is a private mega luxury yacht that takes groups of 1 to 40 guests. Generous indoor and outdoor spaces, a professional captain and crew, and enough room for anything from a calm family trip to a full-scale private party make it very versatile.

Parties, Swims and Special Events

Guests book it for Bosphorus sightseeing cruises, swimming tours with stops in the water, private parties and birthdays, proposals, corporate events, family get-togethers and other occasions. Cruising hours are flexible, and you can add swimming stops, food and drink options, decorations and hotel transfers to suit you.

Between Europe and Asia

Out on the water you cruise between two continents. You pass Dolmabahce Palace and the Ortakoy Mosque, then Rumeli Fortress and Beylerbeyi Palace, as well as the Maiden's Tower. Relax on deck, or make the trip into a private event.

Itinerary
Day 1 – Private Bosphorus Mega Yacht Cruise, Swim and Party
  • Pick-up from your hotel or the cruise port: at your chosen time, a private car comes to collect you.
  • Boarding: at the marina the captain and crew greet you, and you go aboard the private mega luxury yacht.
  • Optional lunch or dinner on board: if you have booked a meal, it is freshly cooked and served as you cruise. On the menu: grilled meat, chicken or fish, a fresh salad of the season, traditional Turkish mezes, French fries and a platter of seasonal fruit, with soft drinks, tea and coffee.
  • Cruising the Bosphorus privately: the yacht sails the strait between Europe and Asia. On the European shore you pass Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, the Ortakoy Mosque and Rumeli Fortress; the Bosphorus Bridge spans the water overhead; and on the Asian side you see Kucuksu Palace, then Beylerbeyi Palace, plus the Maiden's Tower. You have time to take photos, sit on deck in the fresh sea air and watch the skyline drift past. Swimming stops, a party or a private event on board can be added on request.
  • Drop-off at your hotel or the cruise port: once the yacht is back at the marina, your driver returns you to the hotel or cruise port.

Renting a Bosphorus mega yacht for up to 40 guests: the essentials

No yacht in our fleet with transfers included is bigger than this one. It is a private mega luxury yacht for groups of 1 to 40, starting at $1,000 per hour. A standard booking is a private two-hour cruise. It comes with a professional captain and crew, fuel and marina fees, bottled water, and pick-up and drop-off at your hotel or at the Galataport cruise port. The yacht is made for special events such as private parties, birthdays, proposals, company events and family get-togethers. Swimming stops, food and drink packages and decorations can all be added.

What kind of event can you hold on a mega yacht in Istanbul?

Nearly any. There is plenty of room both inside and outside, so the yacht suits a calm cruise with family just as well as a big private party:

OccasionHow the yacht is used
Birthday or engagement partyDecorations, music and food for as many as 40 guests
ProposalA private spot with the skyline behind you, even if a big surprise party is waiting
Corporate eventTeam trips, hosting clients and company parties on the water
Family gatheringRoom for several generations, both inside and on deck
Swimming tourStops for a swim on a longer summer cruise
SightseeingA Bosphorus trip past palaces, mosques and fortresses

Is swimming from the yacht possible?

You can add swimming stops when you plan the cruise. They work best on a longer charter during the summer. Let us know at booking that you would like a swim, so we can plan the route and timing around it. Where and when it is safe to stop is up to the crew.

What does a party boat cost in Istanbul?

This yacht starts at $1,000 per hour, transfers included. Split between 40 guests, that comes to $25 per person per hour. Here is how it compares with our other yachts for big groups:

YachtGuestsPrice from
This mega yachtUp to 40, with transfers$1,000 per hour
Corona Tokyo yacht for eventsUp to 72, departing Bebek$1,050 per hour
White IstanbulUp to 32, departing Bebek$599 per hour
MarilynUp to 28, departing Eminonu$599 per hour
Yacht for family and friends6 to 32, with transfers$525 per hour

For a group of more than 40, the Corona Tokyo event yacht holds up to 72 guests.

What sights will you pass?

The route runs between Europe and Asia, past Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, the Ortakoy Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge, Rumeli Fortress, Kucuksu Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and the Maiden's Tower. You can unwind on deck or carry on the party indoors.

Which food and drinks can we arrange?

A meal cooked fresh can be served as you cruise: grilled meat, chicken or fish, a salad of the season, classic Turkish mezes, French fries, a platter of seasonal fruit, plus soft drinks, tea and coffee. Bottled water comes with the booking, but alcohol does not. For a large event, send us the number of guests and what they like, and we will prepare the options.

Which season is best for a yacht party?

Peak season is summer, with warm evenings, swims and long sunsets. Weekends between June and September are the first to fill, so book big events early. Spring and autumn suit sightseeing trips and company events very well, and in the colder months the indoor spaces let the event carry on.

What should your guests bring?

Bring swimwear and a towel if a swim stop is planned, a light jacket for the evening, sunglasses and shoes with soft soles for the deck. For a party, bring your music and any decorations of your own.

How do you make a booking?

Pick a date on this page and submit the form, or send us a WhatsApp message with the occasion, the guest count, how many hours you need and the departure time you prefer. You can add food, decorations and swim stops in the same message. We confirm in writing, and payment comes only after confirmation. Looking for more?
