## Description

In short. A henna night on the Bosphorus means the whole yacht is yours: from €150 per hour, minimum two hours, most henna nights run three to four. We match the yacht to your group, 12 to 200 guests; every yacht has an enclosed saloon, an open deck, a captain and crew. The henna tray, decoration, DJ and catering are priced as separate lines. Boarding at Karaköy, free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Price: whole yacht from €150/hour, minimum 2 hours; 3–4 hours is the usual henna-night length. Guests: 12–200; the yacht is chosen for your group and photos are sent in advance. Add-ons: decoration, DJ and sound system, catering and drink packages, cake; each quoted as its own line. Henna tray: you bring it; open flame and candles are agreed with the captain at booking. Boarding: Karaköy; Kuruçeşme, Bebek, Beşiktaş, Kabataş or Kadıköy with a distance surcharge. How a henna night works on the water A kına gecesi on the Bosphorus follows a different rhythm from one in a hall. Guests board at Karaköy, the music starts as the yacht leaves the quay, the first hour runs along the European shore and under the bridges, then the yacht slows at a calm point for the ceremony: the bride’s entrance, the lighting of the henna, the songs, then dancing and food. On a three-hour night the ceremony sits in the middle and the party fills the last hour. Groups that take four hours come back under the lit bridges. What it costs The whole yacht from €150 per hour, minimum two hours. Most henna nights run three or four hours, so the base is roughly €450 to €600; the exact figure depends on the yacht and the date. The hourly fare covers the yacht, captain, crew and fuel. There is no port tax and no booking fee. Decoration, DJ, catering, drinks and cake are written as separate lines; no price includes alcohol. Send your guest count and date and you get a written price the same day. Henna tray, candles and decoration You bring the henna tray, the bindallı and the ceremonial pieces; if you like, we arrange the decoration: balloons, rose petals, personalised signs, your theme colours. Candles on the tray are part of the tradition; how open flame is handled on deck is agreed with the captain when you book, and most groups use a mix of LED and real candles for the ceremony. You can bring a cake, there is a fridge on board, and we can order a themed cake from the bakeries we work with. Music and entertainment Every yacht has a sound system; connect your own playlist or add a professional DJ. The most requested set-up for henna nights is a prepared list for the entrance and ceremony, then a DJ for the rest. Tell us early if you want live musicians or a dancer, because deck space and sound set-up vary from yacht to yacht and we choose accordingly. Group size and yacht Our own yachts and partner fleet take 12 to 200 guests. The most common henna group is 30 to 60 people, and for that size we suggest yachts where the saloon and the deck are both comfortable to use. Tell us your number and we send two or three options with photos and capacity. A toilet and life jackets for everyone are standard on every yacht; cold or rainy weather does not cancel the night, the saloon is enclosed. Booking and cancellation Send the date, guest count and time on WhatsApp; a yacht suggestion and written price come the same day. A 30% deposit holds the date, the balance is due before departure. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. We are a TÜRSAB-licensed agency (A-805) working the Bosphorus since 1967; our yacht party and bachelorette pages show the same framework for other celebrations.
