Crowded tables, noisy venues, and cliché surprises... all fade away, replaced by a birthday celebration between the sea and the sky—in the heart of the Bosphorus.
A birthday is more than marking another year—it's a reason to pause, reflect, and reconnect with life.
And in a city as enchanting as Istanbul, celebrating on the deck of a private yacht turns an ordinary occasion into an extraordinary memory.
🎈 Why Celebrate Your Birthday on a Yacht?
Because some years deserve more than just a slice of cake.
In a city like Istanbul, it's possible to escape into another world for a few hours.
Out on the water, far from the noise yet in the heart of the city, you can give yourself—or someone you love—an unforgettable moment.
This guide walks you through every step of planning a birthday celebration on a yacht in Istanbul.
📍 1. Step One: Choose the Date and Number of Guests
The best time to rent a yacht in Istanbul is usually spring through late summer. Weekends are in high demand, so we recommend booking in advance.
- Minimum duration: 2 hours
- Capacity: From 2 to 20 people
- Recommended duration: 2–3 hours (ideal for both celebration & sightseeing)
📌 Note: All tours are private. Only your guests and the crew will be onboard.
🍴 2. Menu Selection: Add Flavor to the Celebration
You can keep it simple with snacks and drinks, or organize a full birthday dinner with multiple courses and elegant service.
✨ Dinner Menu – 1,500 TL / person
- 5 cold starters
- 2 hot appetizers
- Main course (grilled meat or fish)
- Seasonal salad
- Fruit
- Non-alcoholic beverages
🎁 Optional: Alcoholic drinks +1,500 TL / person (up to 3 glasses)
Kids' meals or vegan options can be arranged upon request.
💡 Tip: Meals are prepared daily at our partner restaurants and served onboard fresh—nothing is cooked on the yacht itself.
🚤 3. Pricing & Sample Calculation
🚤 Yacht Rental – 5,000 TL / hour (minimum 2 hours)

With alcoholic options, the total can reach up to 28,000 TL.

📝 Not Just a Birthday—A New Beginning
Each new age brings a nod to the past and a promise to the future.
But some years deserve more than a candle and a wish.
A celebration on the Bosphorus—with the sea below, the sky above, and the wind by your side—is one of those moments.
If you're ready to go beyond the ordinary, gift yourself a view, a table, and a memory that truly belongs to you.
