It explains how a marriage proposal on a private yacht in Istanbul works: the sunset route past Dolmabahçe Palace and under the Bosphorus Bridge, the decoration, music and photographer extras you can add, what it costs from €150 per hour with a two-hour minimum, and how to keep the surprise intact. Constantine Yachts has helped hundreds of couples ask the question on the Bosphorus — the whole yacht is yours, never a shared deck. Picture this: a private yacht decorated with roses and candles, cruising slowly past the illuminated Dolmabahçe Palace. Soft music plays in the background. Your partner has no idea what is about to happen. You get down on one knee as the sun sets between two continents. That is not a movie scene — that is a Tuesday evening on the Bosphorus with Constantine Yachts. How We Plan Your Proposal Everything starts with a WhatsApp conversation. You tell us what your partner likes — roses or wildflowers, champagne or Turkish tea, classical music or their favorite playlist. We build the setup from there. On the day, your partner thinks you are going for a nice Bosphorus cruise. When they step on board and see the decorations, the candles, the flowers — the surprise is complete. Our team handles every detail so you can focus on the moment. We have done surprise proposals where friends were hiding on the lower deck ready to celebrate. We have done quiet proposals with just the couple, a bottle of champagne, and the stars. Whatever your style, we make it work. Proposal Extras We Can Arrange The hourly rate covers the yacht and crew; the touches below are arranged on request and quoted separately, so your proposal is built around what matters to you. Romantic yacht decoration — red roses, rose petals on deck, candles, fairy lights Champagne or wine — chilled and ready for the celebration Music — live violin, saxophone, or your own playlist through our sound system Chocolate and fruit platter — beautifully arranged for the moment Professional photographer — hidden on board to capture the reaction (optional but highly recommended) Route planning — timed so you propose at the perfect spot with the best backdrop "She said yes" celebration — confetti, sparklers, surprise messages from friends The Route and Timing Most proposal cruises depart about 90 minutes before sunset. The yacht heads north along the European shore, passing Ortaköy Mosque and under the Bosphorus Bridge. The proposal usually happens near Rumeli Fortress or Maiden Tower, where the views are at their peak. After the big moment, the cruise continues for another hour — giving you time to celebrate, take photos, and enjoy the evening together. Minimum cruise time is 2 hours. Some couples choose to add dinner on board after the proposal — we have full catering options for that. Tips for a Perfect Proposal Keep it natural Tell your partner you booked a sunset cruise as a date night. Keep it casual. The surprise works best when they are not expecting anything. Trust the team Our crew has done this many times. They know when to play the music, when to dim the lights, when to bring the champagne. Just relax and enjoy the moment. Consider a photographer You will want photos of this moment. Our photographers know how to stay hidden until the right time, so the surprise is not ruined. Istanbul Proposal Packages If you would rather start from a ready plan, we run three proposal packages on the Bosphorus. The yacht is private in every one of them — you are booking the whole yacht, not a seat, from €150 per hour with a two-hour minimum. Silver Light — elegant and intimate A two-hour private cruise with light snacks, rose petals on deck and romantic background music. The simplest way to do this well: nothing on board that you did not choose, and nobody on board you did not invite. Golden Palace — the full evening Three hours, a private chef’s menu, live violin, custom decoration and a professional photographer on board. This is the version most couples pick when they want photographs of the moment itself, not just of the celebration afterwards. Diamond Bosphorus — the grand version Four hours on a superyacht with an à la carte menu, drone footage, champagne service, and fireworks or a laser show where the permits allow it. This one is quoted individually, because the vessel is larger than our standard fleet. What the numbers actually look like The yacht is the base of every package. At €150 per hour that is €300 for a two-hour proposal cruise and €450 for three hours — for the whole yacht, not per person. Everything a package adds on top of the yacht — decoration, catering, music, photography — is priced separately and confirmed in writing before you book, so no figure appears for the first time at the end. Departures are from Karaköy. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before sailing, and any prepayment is refunded in full. Full details and current pricing are on our Istanbul proposal packages page. WhatsApp us — exact quote for your date Frequently Asked Questions How much does a proposal cruise cost? The yacht itself is €150 per hour with a two-hour minimum — so €300 for a two-hour proposal cruise and €450 for three hours, for the whole yacht rather than per person. Decoration, live music, catering and photography sit on top of that and are priced separately, because couples want very different things from them. Send us your date on WhatsApp and you get an exact total in writing before anything is booked. No port fee, no booking fee, no service charge added at the end. Can I propose at night? Absolutely. Night proposals have a different magic — the Bosphorus lit up with the city lights, the bridges glowing overhead. We adjust the decoration to work beautifully at night with candles and fairy lights. What if the weather is bad? Our yachts have both indoor and outdoor areas. If it rains, we move the setup inside — it is still beautiful, still private, still on the Bosphorus. We monitor the weather and communicate with you in advance. Where does the yacht leave from? Karaköy, on the European side, a short walk from the Galata Bridge. We send the exact meeting point and your boarding time with the confirmation, so nobody is standing on the wrong pier on the evening it matters. Is the yacht really private, or do we share it? Private. You book the whole yacht, not seats on it, so the only people on board are the ones you invited and the crew. That is the difference between a proposal and a proposal in front of strangers, and it is the reason we do not sell this by the seat. How far ahead should we book? The yacht can often be arranged at short notice. What needs lead time is everything around it — a photographer, live music, a specific decoration, a chef’s menu. Send your date as early as you can and we will tell you straight away what is still possible for it. Can we have dinner on board after the proposal? Yes. Full catering is available, from a chef’s menu to something simple to eat while you celebrate, and it is quoted with the rest of your evening. Many couples propose in the first hour and then stay on the water to eat. Ready to plan the most important question of your life? Message us on WhatsApp. We will make sure the setting is as special as the moment. When you are ready to set a date, see what the evening includes on our marriage proposal on the Bosphorus page. Prefer to keep the yacht entirely to yourselves before and after the big question? Explore our private yacht charter in Istanbul options and shape the evening around your own plan.
