Yacht Rental in Istanbul for 30 Guests | Crystall and Constantine, from €150/hour

Short answer: for 30 guests we have two yachts: the 32-guest Crystall (the exact size for a cocktail or sunset cruise) and the 44-guest Constantine (everyone at a table for a seated dinner, large upper deck). Priced for the whole yacht from €150 per hour: 3 hours for 30 guests is €15 per person, catering separate.

Which yacht for 30 guests?

Capacities depend on the layout: more at a cocktail, fewer at a seated dinner. The table shows the realistic options for a group of 30; the yachts operate with captain and crew under our TÜRSAB A-805 licensed agency, and partner yachts are organised by the same team.

What groups of 30 come for

Thirty is the group size we see most often in Istanbul: team dinners and dealer evenings, small weddings and engagements, henna nights, graduations and yacht parties.

How pricing works, with a sample budget

Our own yachts start at €150 per hour for the whole yacht, 2-hour minimum; from €120 per hour for six hours and more. There is no per-person charge, so the cost per head falls as the group grows. Partner yachts (White Istanbul, By Serayaz) are priced in the written quote by yacht and date. Catering and extras are added from our catalogue only as you choose them: 4-course dinner 800 ₺ per person, snack platter 750 ₺, fruit platter 500 ₺, DJ and sound system 5,000 ₺, decoration 1,500 ₺, photographer 3,000 ₺ per hour (catalogue as of 1 October 2026; confirmed in the quote).

Boarding, route and duration

Boarding at Karaköy pier; Kabataş, Beşiktaş, Bebek, Kuruçeşme or Kadıköy for a distance-based surcharge. A two-hour cruise passes Dolmabahçe and Çırağan, goes under the 15 July Martyrs Bridge and returns along the Asian shore; three hours reach Bebek and Rumeli Fortress. To time departure to the sunset, see Istanbul sunset times; engines stop for the speech and the cake.

Other group sizes: 20 guests · 50 guests · 100 guests. For the general picture see yacht charter in Istanbul and the price guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which yacht for a seated dinner of 30?

Constantine. Crystall hosts 30 comfortably in a cocktail layout; for everyone to be at a table at the same time we recommend the 44-guest Constantine.

Is the price per person or per yacht?

Per yacht. You pay an hourly rate for the whole yacht (from €150, 2-hour minimum); the number of guests does not change it. Per-person pricing exists only on the daily shared sunset cruise (€34).

Is catering included?

The yacht rate covers the yacht, captain and crew. Food, drinks, DJ and decoration are added from our catalogue only as you choose them; if you bring your own catering, a service fee of 150–200 ₺ per person applies. Every item is listed in the written quote.

Where does the yacht depart from?

Standard boarding is at Karaköy pier. Kabataş, Beşiktaş, Bebek, Kuruçeşme or Kadıköy are possible for a distance-based surcharge; the partner yacht By Serayaz also boards at Üsküdar, Sarayburnu and Bostancı.

How far in advance should we book?

Three to six weeks for May–June and November–December; two weeks is usually enough in other months. A 30% deposit fixes the date, the balance is paid on the day.

What if it rains?

The saloon is enclosed and heated; the cruise runs in rain. Only the captain can cancel a departure for safety, and then you choose another date or a full refund.
