## Description

New Year's Eve on the Bosphorus, From the Water Instead of the Crowd On 31 December, Istanbul lights up on both shores at once. Standing in the middle of the Bosphorus that night does not make you a spectator of that view — it puts you inside it. No restaurant queue, no table next to yours, no midnight traffic on the way home. Just your own group, the water, and the skyline of two continents. What a Private Charter Means on That Night Every Constantine Yachts charter is private. You are never placed on a shared boat with strangers, and New Year's Eve is when that difference matters most. Departure time, route, music and menu are set around your group rather than around a fixed schedule that has to serve two hundred people. 🥂 On Board Catering: Champagne and cocktail service, premium cheese and fruit platters, or a full private Istanbul dinner menu. Atmosphere: Your own playlist and elegant ambient lighting. Decoration: Table styling, floral and light decoration arranged on request. Privacy: A dedicated, professional and discreet crew for the whole evening. The Route After Dark The course runs past Ortaköy and the Çırağan Palace waterfront and continues beneath the bridges. It is a familiar postcard by day; at night it becomes something else entirely. Palace façades throw their light onto the water, the bridges shift colour, and the two sides of the city are joined by nothing but illumination. The route is not fixed. You can hold position at one spot for the evening, or keep moving the whole night — both work. Who It Suits Couples who would rather spend the last night of the year at a table for two than in a full dining room. Families looking for an enclosed, calm setting without restaurant noise or a late drive home. Groups of friends who want their own music, their own timing and their own pace. Companies hosting an end-of-year team celebration or client evening on the water. Booking and Availability 31 December is a single night and the fleet is finite. Boats and time slots for that date fill quickly, so early planning is worth it. New Year’s Eve charter starts from €900. That covers the yacht itself; catering, decoration and music are quoted separately based on what you choose. New Year's Eve Sailing Hours The New Year's Eve cruise typically runs from 10 PM to 2 AM, so you welcome midnight out on the water between the lights of both shores. If you would prefer different hours, we can shape the schedule together. Get in touch for availability and departure times. We will put together a plan based on your group size, the level of catering you want, and when you would like to board. On all other dates, private Bosphorus yacht charter starts from €150 per hour, with a two-hour minimum booking. Related Bosphorus Sunset Cruise — the golden hour, any day of the year.
