Hourly Yacht Rental in Istanbul – A Clear Price for Every Hour on the Bosphorus
One simple rate: €350 per hour for the entire yacht, whatever the size of your group. Current offers →
Many guests do not need a full-day charter – they want the yacht for exactly the time they have. That is why our Istanbul yacht rental per hour is built around one transparent rate: €350 for each hour on the water, for the whole yacht, with the captain, crew and fuel already included. Food and celebrations are added only if you want them.

How the hours are counted
- The clock starts when your guests board and stops when you step back on the pier.
- Want to stay longer once you are out? If the yacht is free afterwards, you can extend on board at the same hourly rate.
- For trips under two hours, send us your plan – short slots depend on that day's schedule.
What fits into each hour?
In 2 hours you can cruise from Bebek past Rumeli Fortress and under the 15 July Martyrs Bridge to Ortaköy, Dolmabahçe Palace and the Maiden's Tower, then return along the Asian shore. In 3 hours you add a seated lunch or dinner without rushing. In 4 hours or more the route can reach the Black Sea mouth of the Bosphorus or include a long party with a DJ.
Adding food to an hourly rental
Our chef prepares menus on board: snacks €30, meat, fish or chicken menu €48 and finger food €67 per person, each with unlimited soft drinks. For groups of 15 or more the chef is free. Without a menu you still get tea, coffee, soft drinks, chips, nuts and crudités.
