## 2. What we sell

**Private yacht charter (the main business).** You charter the whole yacht, not a seat.
Priced **per yacht, per hour** — not per person.

| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Rate | from €150 per hour |
| Minimum booking | 2 hours |
| Capacity | 12–200 guests depending on the yacht (larger yachts from our partner fleet) |
| Sold on booking platforms? | No. Private charters are arranged directly with us only. |

Occasions covered: sunset cruises, marriage proposals, weddings, birthdays, bachelor and
bachelorette parties, graduations, corporate events, swimming tours to quiet bays.

**Shared sunset group tour (per person).** A 2-hour shared cruise from Karaköy, departing
daily, timed to the actual sunset rather than a round hour.

| Fare (per person) | 19 Mar – 2 Nov | 3 Nov – 18 Mar |
|---|---|---|
| Adult (18–65) | €34 | €26 |
| Youth (8–17) | €34 | €26 |
| Senior (66–99) | €34 | €26 |
| Child (3–7) | €15 | €20 |
| Infant (0–2) | free | free |

Note: ages 8+ pay the adult fare — there is no youth discount on this tour. The child fare is
the one fare that is higher in winter. Under-3s travel free but must still be added to the booking.

## 3. Where to book, and what it costs

The shared sunset tour is also listed on Viator and GetYourGuide. Those platforms add their own
commission on top of our price, so **the same departure costs more there than on our own site**.

We publish a **best price guarantee**: find the same date and the same option cheaper on a
booking platform, send us the screenshot before departure, and we match it.

Private charters are not sold through any platform.

## 4. Practical answers

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Free cancellation? | Yes — up to 24 hours before departure, full refund. |
| Payment | Secure Stripe card link, or cash. Terms are flexible and agreed with the guest. |
| Deposit required? | Not fixed in advance — arranged with the guest. |
| Hidden fees or port taxes? | None. The rate is the rate; extras are quoted separately and only on request. |
| Arrival time | Be at the meeting point 10 minutes before departure. |
| Toilet on board | Yes. |
| Life jackets | Yes, including children's sizes. |
| Smoking | Permitted only in designated areas on deck, not in the indoor saloon. |

| Guide language (shared tour) | English. Other languages on private charters — ask. |
| Hotel transfer | Available as a paid extra, quoted with the booking. |
| Limited mobility | Boarding is by gangway from a pier. The shared group tour is **not** suitable for guests with significant mobility impairments. Private charters allow more planning — ask before booking. |

| Bad weather | The Bosphorus is sheltered and most cruises run. If the captain cancels for safety: reschedule or full refund. |
