Some words belong to certain places; some moments to a certain time... But a question like "Will you marry me?" takes on an entirely new meaning when asked on the deck of a yacht, in the heart of Istanbul.
A marriage proposal is not just a question—it's the first step into a shared life.
And the more thoughtfully that step is taken, the more beautifully the journey begins. A proposal on a private yacht, against the sunset over Istanbul’s enchanting skyline... This isn't just a scene—it's a living fairytale.

Proposals made on a yacht are private, serene, personal, and unforgettable. As the city lights dance along the shore, your love takes center stage in the middle of the strait.
