Private Yacht Charter Istanbul
This page is the best starting point for guests who have already decided on a private yacht and want to compare the six vessels by group size and price. It covers yacht charter Istanbul, private yacht charter Istanbul, and Istanbul yacht rental searches. If vessel type and route flexibility matter more to you than fleet comparison, start with boat rental. If dinner is the primary focus of the evening rather than the yacht itself, the private dinner cruise page is a better fit.

All catering is handled by GoldenSunsetTour's in-house team, so there is no need to arrange outside suppliers.
GoldenSunsetTour offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to the booking terms shared at the time of reservation. The policy is confirmed in the booking confirmation email. For bespoke event charters (weddings, corporate briefs), cancellation terms are agreed separately.

Custom decoration (balloons, flowers, proposal styling, birthday setups) is available through GoldenSunsetTour on request and is quoted per event brief. Guests may also bring their own non-catering decorations, subject to a brief check with the team before boarding.
“The complete privacy of having the yacht to ourselves made all the difference. We chose the Premium tier and the captain adjusted the route so we could watch the sunset from the water near the Bosphorus Bridge. A truly once-in-a-trip experience.”
“Kucuk bir evlilik teklifi icin Essential paketi aldım ve ekip onceden dekorasyon konusunda cok yardımcı oldu. Her sey guzelce hazırlanmıştı ve Kız Kulesi'nin alacakaranlik goruntuleri tam istediğimiz gibi oldu.”
“VIP-Paket fur ein kleines Firmendinner — das Team war tadellos. Das Catering-Add-on war hervorragend prasentiert, die Yacht war makellos, und Kuruçesme Marina ist ein einfacher Abfahrtspunkt. Alles wurde genau wie versprochen bestatigt.”
“Tamamen ozel bir deneyim — yatta başka misafir yoktu. Rota esnekligi gercek; kaptanimiz istegimiz uzerine Bogaz'in ust kesiminde bir yuzme duragi ekledi. Bu mahremiyet tek basına parasının karsiligi.”
“Goed Essential-pakket voor een kleine groep van zes personen. Het jacht was schoon en goed uitgerust, de bemanning sprak uitstekend Engels, en de uitzichten op de Bosporusbrug bij schemering zijn gewoon niet te evenaren in Istanbul.”
“Nous avons loue le yacht VIP pour notre anniversaire de mariage et c'etait absolument parfait. Le capitaine a su trouver les meilleurs angles pour les photos pres de la Tour de Leandre et l'equipe nous a surpris avec des decorations florales.”
“Hired the Premium yacht for eight colleagues as a corporate outing. The deck space was generous, the food add-on was high quality, and Kuruçesme Marina is easy to find. The crew handled every detail professionally and the Bosphorus views justified every cent.”
“Booked the Essential package for a small birthday celebration and was impressed by the personal attention. The captain knew exactly where to position the boat for the best sunset photos and the crew's setup with candles and flowers was a lovely touch.”
