Preparing for a Yacht Tour: What Can You Bring Onboard? Rules and Freedoms

Planning a yacht tour on the Bosphorus?
You might find yourself asking:
"Can we bring our own drinks?" "Can we bring a birthday cake?" "Are balloons or decorations allowed?"
Great questions—because a yacht tour isn't just a service, it's a personal experience.
Let's explore what's allowed and what's best left on land.

📌 Note: The information below applies to tours offered by the Boğaz Çocuğu brand. Other providers may have different policies.

🎂 Can You Bring Food?

Yes, within limits.
You're welcome to bring a small cake, cookies, or packaged snacks.
However, cooked meals or open platters (like grilled food or mezes) are not permitted due to hygiene and service regulations.

💡 Tip: Boutique cakes are the most popular item brought onboard for celebrations.

🍾 Can You Bring Beverages?

Yes for non-alcoholic drinks—juices, sodas, bottled water are all fine.
Alcoholic drinks can only be brought with prior approval and may be subject to specific conditions.
Please notify us during the booking if you plan to bring your own alcohol.

🎁 Alternative: You can order alcoholic beverage service through us or choose one of our drink-inclusive menu options.

🎈 Are Decorations Like Balloons or Banners Allowed?

Yes, but guests are responsible for setup.
You can bring and place your own balloons or light decorations as long as they don't damage the yacht.
Staples, strong adhesives, or anything that leaves a mark is not allowed.

💡 Tip: Want a hassle-free setup? Professional decoration services are available upon request for an additional fee.

📦 Gifts, Flowers, and Personal Items

These are welcome onboard.
Feel free to bring flowers, personal gifts, or special items for your event.
However, scented items, candles, incense, fireworks, or anything flammable are not permitted for safety reasons.

🔇 Do You Need to Bring Music Equipment?

Nope.
All yachts are equipped with Bluetooth/USB-compatible sound systems.
You can easily connect your phone and play your favorite playlist—no extra equipment required.

🧊 Is There a Cooler or Storage Option Onboard?

Yes.
We have a fridge or cold storage area available to keep your cake or beverages chilled.
Please let us know in advance so we can prepare accordingly.
