Why us

Five vendors' work, one thread

Organising an event afloat usually means finding a boat, a caterer, a florist, a photographer and a driver separately — often in Turkish. We replace that with one chat: you describe the occasion, we hold the yacht, brief the kitchen, hang the decor and put a car outside your hotel.

How it works

Booking, in four short steps

Describe the occasion

One WhatsApp message: date, number of guests, the mood — tour, birthday, proposal, party. English, Russian or Turkish; a reply usually lands within fifteen minutes.

Get options and a quote

We send yachts that actually fit, with photos, capacity and a written price for the whole evening — boat, food, decor, everything you asked for.

Confirm the details

Date, boarding pier, route, menu and timings are fixed in the chat. Several payment methods are available; we confirm the convenient one with the booking.

Step aboard

An optional transfer collects you at the hotel, airport or restaurant and returns you after — door to door. You arrive; the table, music and crew are already set.

Prices

Questions

The six things everyone asks before boarding

What is the minimum rental time?

Two hours. That covers the classic Bosphorus circuit past Maiden's Tower and the waterfront palaces; birthdays and parties usually take three to four hours, and Princes' Islands trips need six or more.

What is included in the yacht price?

Captain, at least one crew member, fuel for the standard route, Wi-Fi, a sound system you can plug your phone into, and basic guest service. Exact terms depend on the yacht and are confirmed in writing before booking.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

On most yachts, yes. Or order catering from €30 per person — breakfast, lunch, dinner, canapés or a custom menu, with waiters and restaurant-style service if the occasion calls for it.

How many guests can a yacht take?

From two on a Comfort boat to more than a hundred on event yachts. Tell us the guest count first — it narrows the class and the boat faster than anything else.

How do we book, and in what language?

Through WhatsApp, in English, Russian or Turkish. You describe the occasion, receive yacht options with a written quote, confirm date and boarding pier, and pay by one of several methods agreed in the chat.

Do cruises run in winter?

Yes, year-round. May to October is the warm season for open decks; in winter the boats use enclosed, heated saloons, the strait is quieter and the city lights come on before six.

What is a gulet cruise, and where do routes start?

A gulet cruise from Bodrum is Turkey's classic blue cruise: a crewed wooden yacht sailing the Aegean coast, with the Bodrum to Göcek package the most loved weekly route. Private gulet rental cost depends on cabin count and season — most guests take the all-inclusive gulet charter with crew, meals and fuel in one price.

How is a weekly luxury charter from Göcek priced?

A luxury yacht charter from Göcek is priced per week: the gulet or motor yacht fee plus APA for food and fuel. A crewed motor yacht out of Bodrum books faster for short notice; gulets reward early booking for July–August weeks.
