How much is it to rent a boat for a birthday in Istanbul?

€200 per hour with a two-hour minimum, so €400 for the whole boat. Evening slots between 17:00 and 22:00 are €250 per hour. Groups of eight or more receive an automatic discount.

How many guests can come?

Up to 40. The boat has two decks with shaded seating below and open seating above, plus an indoor saloon.

Can we play our own music?

Yes. The boat has a sound system you can connect to and you choose what plays.

Can we bring a cake and our own drinks?

Yes to both. You can also add a birthday cake for €25 and we will bring it out on deck when you want. Soft drinks and Turkish tea are included.

What if some guests drop out?

Tell us as early as you can and we will adjust the booking. The boat price does not change with headcount on a private charter, so fewer guests simply means more room.

What it costs for a group

The boat is €200 per hour with a two-hour minimum, so €400 for the boat — not per person. Split between fifteen people that is under €27 each for two hours, which is less than most birthday dinners in Istanbul and considerably more memorable.

Evening slots between 17:00 and 22:00 are €250 per hour. Groups of eight or more get an automatic discount, applied before you pay and shown in the breakdown.

Your music, your food, your call

The boat has a sound system you can connect to. Bring your own playlist — this is your party, not a themed tour with a fixed soundtrack.

Bring your own cake and food, or add a birthday cake (€25) and we will bring it out on deck at the moment you choose. A photo package of 40 edited photographs is €30. Soft drinks and Turkish tea are included; you can bring your own alcohol.

There is no fixed route. If the group wants to spend the whole time in one spot with the engines off and the music on, that is a completely valid way to use the boat.

Practical things people ask late

Up to 40 guests, two decks, indoor saloon for cooler months, toilet on board, life jackets for adults and children. Children are welcome and travel at reduced rates; under fours are free.

Hotel pickup on the European side is €15 per person, useful when the group is scattered across different hotels. Departures are from Kabataş pier and we send the meeting point to everyone's WhatsApp.

Booking without commitment

No deposit and no card details. You pay on board on the day, in cash or by card. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before a private charter, and a full refund or another date if weather makes sailing unsafe.

Group plans change. Tell us as early as you can if the number of guests moves and we will adjust the booking — the price is recalculated at the rates you booked at.
