How Pricing Works

The total is made up of two parts:

• Yacht charter: from €150 per hour, with a two-hour minimum booking.
• Event extras: DJ, sound system, decoration, catering and photography are not included in that rate and are quoted separately based on what you choose.

The final figure depends on duration, group size, date and the extras you pick. Tell us your date and what you have in mind and we will put together a quote.

On-Board Details

Booking direct — no agency in the middle. Booking sites do not sell what is on this page: they sell seats, we charter you the whole yacht. Write to us and no reseller takes a commission out of your budget, and your request does not pass through a middleman who flattens it into a standard package. Constantine Yachts is run by AST Turizm — TÜRSAB licence no. A-805, on the Bosphorus since 1967. Your date, your boarding time, your route and your extras are agreed with the same people who prepare the yacht.

Booking and cancellation. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure — any prepayment is refunded in full. Inside 24 hours, contact us and we will try to move you to another slot. If the captain cancels a departure for safety, you choose: another day or a full refund. Full terms in our FAQ.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yacht Parties

How many guests can a yacht party take?

Our own and partner yachts take groups of 12 to 200 guests, with the largest vessels coming from our partner fleet. The right number for your booking depends on the format as much as the yacht — a standing reception fits more people comfortably than a seated dinner — so tell us the headcount and the kind of evening you want and we will match a yacht to both.

What does a private yacht party cost in Istanbul?

Private charter is priced per yacht, per hour, from €150 with a two-hour minimum, with catering, music and extras quoted separately. The rate covers the whole yacht including captain and crew, so a larger group does not pay more per person for the vessel.

Can we bring our own music or DJ?

Yes. On a private charter you can bring your own playlist or your own DJ, and the yacht’s sound system is available. Tell us at the quote stage what you are planning so the crew can prepare the setup.

Can we decorate the yacht?

Yes. Decorations, balloons and a cake are all welcome on a private charter, and anything we arrange for you is set up before you board — you step onto a deck that is already ready rather than spending the first half hour tying balloons.

What happens if it rains?

Nothing is cancelled. Every yacht has an enclosed saloon as well as an open deck, so a wet evening changes where the party happens rather than whether it happens. If conditions are genuinely unsafe to sail, the captain cancels and you choose between another date and a full refund.

Is there a toilet on board?

Yes, on every yacht and every cruise. Life jackets are on board too, including children’s sizes.

How far in advance should we book?

The yacht itself can often be arranged at short notice. What takes time is everything around it — a specific menu, live music, a photographer, decorations at scale. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure, with any prepayment refunded in full, so booking early costs you nothing in flexibility.

Are there any hidden fees, port taxes or fuel surcharges?

No. The hourly price covers the yacht, its crew and the fuel for your route. Extras such as catering, decoration or a photographer are priced separately and agreed before you confirm, never added afterwards.

Who operates the yacht, and are you licensed?

Constantine Yachts is the boutique yacht brand of AST Tourism, an Istanbul operator licensed by TÜRSAB (licence A-805) that has worked the Bosphorus since 1967. Every departure sails with a professional crew.

How will we find the boarding point on the day?

Boarding is at Karaköy on the European side, a few minutes from the Galata Bridge and the Karaköy tram stop. Once your date is set we send the exact map pin and photographs of the pier, so nobody is searching on the day. Other piers such as Kuruçeşme or Bebek can be arranged on request.

From how many guests is a private yacht cheaper than per-person tickets?

A two-hour private charter starts at €300 for the whole yacht. A seat on a shared sunset cruise costs around €34. From roughly nine guests upward the private yacht works out cheaper per person, and the yacht is yours alone.

Is booking directly with you cheaper than booking through a platform?

Yes. Platforms add their commission to the same departure; the last time we compared our own listing, the direct price was about 4% lower. You also speak to the operator rather than a call centre.

Can we check your reviews before booking?

Please do. We are rated 5.0 on Google from 259 reviews, with more than 700 guest reviews in total across Google, Viator and GetYourGuide.

How much deposit do you take, and how do we pay?

A 30% deposit holds your date; the balance is due before departure. Payments run through Stripe over a secure SSL connection, so your card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored by us.

Can a guest who uses a wheelchair come on board?

Unfortunately not. Boarding is from the pier over a gangway with a step, and we would rather tell you now than have someone turned away on the day. If a guest has limited mobility but can manage a step with help, write to us and we will talk it through honestly.

Can we bring our dog?

Yes, pets are welcome on board. Let us know in advance so the crew can prepare for them.

Do children pay the full price?

No. On the shared group tour children under 3 travel free and ages 3 to 7 pay a child fare of €15. On a private charter the price covers the whole yacht, so children add nothing to it. Tell us their ages when you book so the crew can prepare.

Is it safe to bring young children?

Yes. The Bosphorus is sheltered water rather than open sea, so the crossing is calm. Life jackets are on board including children’s sizes, and the crew is told in advance how many children are aboard. On a private charter you also control the pace and the route.

Will anyone get seasick?

Very unlikely. The Bosphorus is a strait, not open sea, and the water is calm for most of the year. In years of hosting, seasickness has almost never been an issue — and if someone in your group is worried, we can keep the route close to the shore.

Do you sail in winter, and is it worth it?

Yes, year-round. Every yacht has an enclosed saloon as well as an open deck, so a cold evening does not cancel anything. Winter has fewer boats on the water, sharper light and, on the shared sunset tour, a lower fare — €26 instead of €34 from 3 November to 18 March.

What happens if the weather cancels our departure?

If the captain calls off a departure for safety, you choose: another date or a full refund. Cancellation is also free up to 24 hours before departure, so a bad forecast never costs you anything.

What safety equipment is on board?

Life jackets for every guest, including children’s sizes, and a professional crew on every departure. We operate as AST Tourism under TÜRSAB licence A-805 and have worked the Bosphorus since 1967.

Can you arrange halal, vegetarian or vegan catering?

Yes. Catering is quoted separately and built around your table, so halal, vegetarian, vegan and allergy requirements are straightforward — tell us when you enquire rather than on the day.

Can we bring our own music or a DJ?

Yes. On a private charter the sound system is yours: bring a playlist or bring a DJ. Tell us in advance if you are bringing equipment so the crew can plan the power and the setup.

How do we get to Karaköy for boarding?

Karaköy is one of the easiest points in Istanbul to reach. The T1 tram stops at Karaköy, city ferries call at the Karaköy pier, and the M2 metro at Şişhane is a short walk up the hill — as is the Tünel funicular from Beyoğlu. From Sultanahmet it is two tram stops. Once your booking is confirmed we send the exact map pin and photographs of the pier.

Is an overnight stay on the yacht possible?

Yes — that is a separate product. On an Istanbul yacht stay you sleep on board for two to four nights and the yacht becomes your hotel as well as your transport, from €1,400 per night for the whole yacht.

What does a family of four actually pay?

On the shared sunset tour: two adults at €34 and two children aged 3 to 7 at €15 comes to €98, and under-3s are free. A two-hour private charter is €300 for the whole yacht regardless of how many of you there are — which is why larger families usually end up chartering.

Can we charter after dark, and what does the Bosphorus look like at night?

Evening and night charters are among the most popular bookings we take. Once the light goes the palaces, the mosques and both bridges are lit, the day traffic thins out, and the shoreline reads as one continuous line of light from Karakoy up to the second bridge.

What is the minimum charter length, and what does an extra hour cost?

Two hours is the minimum for a private charter, from 300 EUR for the whole yacht, and each additional hour is 150 EUR. Parties most often run three to four hours, which gives time to go up past the second bridge and back without rushing.

Can we add a swim stop to a party cruise?

Between roughly June and September we can anchor in a quieter bay, put the swim ladder down and carry on afterwards. Mention it when you book so the route is planned around it.

Can we bring a photographer or a videographer?

Yes, bring your own or ask us to arrange one. If we arrange it the cost is quoted before you confirm, along with anything else you add.

How does the cost work out per person?

Divide the whole-yacht price by your group. A two-hour charter at 300 EUR is 30 EUR each for ten people and 15 EUR each for twenty – and from around nine guests upward a private yacht is already cheaper per head than buying seats on a shared cruise.

Do you run yacht parties for companies as well?

We do – team celebrations, launches and client evenings run on the same yachts, with presentation technology, catering and branding arranged as needed. Our corporate events page sets out how those are put together.
