Planning notes
How much does a marriage proposal on a private yacht in Istanbul cost?
A marriage proposal on a private Luma yacht starts at €220 for 2 hours on the Luma Boutique Yacht · 12 Guests — the whole boat for the two of you, with captain, crew and fuel included. The fixed-price yachts sized for a proposal (up to 15 guests) run from €220 to €320 for two hours and are priced for the whole boat, never per person. Charters board at Karaköy Pier and can start on any full hour from 09:00 to 24:00, so you choose the slot around the sunset. Proposal decoration, flowers, a photographer and a violinist come from our extras list and are quoted to your plan; meal menus start at €55 per person. Reserve online — no payment is taken online; cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. Luma is TÜRSAB-licensed (A Group #14316).
A private proposal starts at €220 for 2 hours. The crew stages the deck from our extras list: Marriage Proposal / Table Decoration, Flowers, Confetti & Balloon Decoration, Professional Photographer, Live Violinist and Unlimited Drinks Package (Alcohol / Wine), each quoted to your plan. Prices are for the whole yacht, up to 15 guests, never per person; a full-day yacht charter runs up to 8 hours on the same fixed prices.

If you are weighing a Bosphorus boat trip against a ticketed boat tour, the difference is who shares the deck. Luma does not sell per-seat cruise tickets: you hire the whole yacht for your group, with captain, crew and fuel included, and the Bosphorus boat tour from Istanbul follows the route and pace you choose. A cruise ticket price therefore does not apply here; the price is for the whole boat and starts at €220 for 2 hours, never per person.
From a 12-guest boutique yacht to a 150-guest event deck, with the premium motor yacht in between, every charter is the whole boat with its crew. Stay a couple of hours at sunset with a sunset cruise, book a private Bosphorus dinner cruise, or compare every class by guest count and hours on the yacht charter in Istanbul page.

Good to know
How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Istanbul?
The new boutique yacht is €240 for 2 hours for up to 12 guests, while the new private yacht is €260 for up to 15. Longer 2–8 hour totals are rounded to the nearest €10 and shown in the planner. The single group yacht starts at €380 for 1–15 guests or €500 for 16–40 guests. Captain, crew, fuel, cookies, mixed nuts, soft drinks, tea and water are included; no online payment is collected.
What is included in a Luma charter?
Your private yacht with its professional crew, fuel, and a tailored Bosphorus route. Catering, decoration, music, photography and special-occasion staging (proposals, birthdays, corporate) are arranged on request and quoted transparently before you confirm.
How do I book a yacht in Istanbul with Luma?
Open the yacht that fits your group, choose the date and number of hours in its planner and send the request. Our licensed team then checks that the date is open, holding nothing and asking no deposit, and confirms either the total shown on the yacht's page or a written quote for event yachts and request-only extras. You book with us directly, not through a marketplace, and nothing is paid online.
Where do charters depart from?
Every Luma yacht boards at Karaköy Pier, a central pier reached by the T1 tram or Marmaray. Another pier is possible on request and may carry an extra charge.
Is the price per person?
No. Every price is for the whole yacht with captain, crew and fuel, never per person, and Luma does not sell per-seat cruise tickets.
Can I cancel a charter?
Yes, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, and no payment is taken online.
