Private Bosphorus Yacht Tour — Rent a Yacht in Istanbul
Renting a yacht in Istanbul is simpler than it sounds: one booking puts a private boat, its
crew and the whole Bosphorus at your disposal. No shared decks, no fixed commentary — the
strait becomes your route, sailed at your pace.
What a private yacht tour includes
Your group boards a crewed private yacht from a central pier and sails the classic strait
panorama — Dolmabahçe, Ortaköy and the bridges, the fortress at Rumeli Hisarı, the yalı
mansions of the Asian shore — with the itinerary shaped around what you want: a proposal
staged at the bridge, a family afternoon with swimming stops in season, or simply the
skyline with nobody else's playlist. The price shown is the checkout price, in EUR,
all fees included.
Private charter or small-group yacht?
If it's the yacht experience you want more than the privacy, the
luxury yacht sunset cruise below puts you on the same class of boat in a
small group for a fraction of the charter price — the honest recommendation for couples.
The full private charter earns its price when the boat itself is the venue: celebrations,
groups, or anyone who wants the route to answer to them. Want a private evening with dining
on board? Private charters can be arranged around dinner time — the shared
dinner cruise is the ready-made alternative with the show
included.
Compare with the shared cruises
The shared boats remain the budget way onto the water: the
sightseeing cruise and
sunset cruise both run with audio guides at per-person prices,
and the breakfast cruise covers mornings. Every current
price, side by side, is on the prices page.
