Yacht Rental vs. Hotel & Restaurant Costs

Yacht Rental vs. Hotel & Restaurant Costs
A hotel table is nice. But a private yacht under the Bosphorus sky? That's unforgettable.

You're planning a special evening. Maybe a proposal, maybe an anniversary.
The usual options are clear: a nice hotel, a stylish restaurant, maybe some live music.
But what if you could have it all—on a private yacht—sailing through the Bosphorus?
Surprisingly, it may cost just about the same.

We'll walk through the comparison below.

🖼️ Privacy & Photography: Small Details, Big Difference

In a restaurant, every photo has strangers in the background.
On a yacht, it's just you and the city lights.
There's no waiter interruption, no background chatter—just music, movement, and mood.

⏳ "But It's Only 2 Hours..."

That may be true—but those two hours can stay with you for years.
It's not about how long it lasts—it's about how deeply it's felt.
