Guests aboard
United Kingdom · Private charter
We had the whole yacht to ourselves for an afternoon on the Bosphorus and it was worth every penny. The crew tailored the route, gave us total privacy, and we never felt rushed. Booking direct made it simple.
Türkiye · Marriage proposal
Evlilik teklifimi tekneyi tamamen bize ayırarak yaptım. Çiçekler, müzik, gün batımıyla zamanlama — her detay düşünülmüştü. Hayatımın en güzel anıydı, ekibe minnettarım.
Germany · Bachelor party
Chartered the boat for my brother's stag day. Private deck, our own playlist, drinks sorted on request — exactly the send-off we wanted. The captain and crew were brilliant the whole way.
France · Corporate hosting
We hosted clients aboard for an evening and it was the perfect moving venue. Professional crew, a smooth route past the palaces, and catering arranged to our brief. Our guests still talk about it.
