Celebrate on a Private Bosphorus Yacht
Some moments deserve the whole boat. From a sunset proposal to a stag day, a milestone birthday or a corporate evening, Luma turns the Bosphorus into your private venue from €220 — staged, timed and crewed for the occasion.
Can you host a celebration on a yacht in Istanbul?
Yes — a private yacht is one of the most memorable ways to celebrate in Istanbul, and with Luma Yacht it starts at €220. You hire the whole boat, never a shared seat, for a crewed Bosphorus sail built around your occasion: a marriage proposal timed to the sunset, a bachelor party with your own playlist, a milestone birthday with cake and décor, or a corporate evening hosting clients past the palaces. The crew arranges the staging — flowers, a cake, champagne, music, a photographer or catering — on request and quotes it separately. Fixed-price 12-, 15- and 40-guest yachts can be reserved online; 90- and 150-guest event yachts and bespoke production remain quote requests. Luma is TÜRSAB-licensed (A Group #14316), sailing since 2001 with 50,000+ guests hosted.
