A wedding on the water solves the venue question with some drama: the aisle is a deck, the backdrop is two continents, and the reception starts the moment the ceremony ends. We organise the yacht and everything on it, for a couple alone or a hundred-plus guest list.
The elopement: the two of you, vows off Maiden's Tower, dinner as the lights come up. The family wedding: twenty to forty guests, a ceremony on the bow, a seated dinner in the saloon. The full reception: an event yacht for 100+ guests with restaurant service, a dance floor and a DJ — boarding at a city pier like hotel guests, except this venue then leaves the shore.
Between those points everything scales. One team books the yacht, builds the decor, briefs the caterers and runs the timeline on the day, so you attend your own wedding as a guest.
Receptions usually run four hours or more; a short symbolic ceremony fits the two-hour format. May to October brings deck weather and long evenings — sunset lands near half past eight in June — while winter weddings use the enclosed, heated saloons and a far kinder calendar. The Bosphorus route gives the classic skyline; a Princes' Islands day suits a small wedding that wants a swim stop in season.
There is no flat wedding price, and we will not pretend one exists. The yacht sets the base — Comfort class starts at €300 for the first two hours, event-class boats are quoted to the date and headcount — then catering from €30 per person, then decor, music, photography and transfer, each priced separately. The prices page explains the mechanics, the charter planner turns your numbers into a first proposal, and event services lists every bookable extra.
Start the conversation on WhatsApp — English, Russian or Turkish, replies in about 15 minutes. We move from guest count to yacht shortlist to a written plan with one owner for every moving part. Most couples lock the yacht first and settle details over the following weeks; the chat quietly becomes the wedding file.
A ceremony on board is symbolic: Turkish civil registration happens ashore, and many international couples sign the papers at home before or after. We say this plainly at the start so nobody discovers it at the rehearsal.
Comfortably from 2 to 100+. Small yachts suit elopements and vow exchanges, mid-size boats seat 20–40 for dinner, and dedicated event yachts host 100+ with full restaurant service.
No — on the water it is symbolic. Couples complete civil registration ashore in Turkey or in their home country, then hold the ceremony and reception on the yacht.
Yes. Menus start at €30 per person and scale to multi-course dinners with waiters and restaurant-style service; bar arrangements and outside suppliers can be discussed.
For a summer Saturday on an event yacht, think several months; for a small midweek or off-season ceremony, a few weeks is often enough. A date is only fixed once confirmed in writing.
