How much is a corporate yacht charter in Istanbul?
A private corporate yacht charter in Istanbul starts at €220 with Luma Yacht — the whole boat for your company, with captain and crew included. The final price depends on the size of yacht for your headcount, how long you sail and the season, since peak evenings and summer dates book up first. Whether it is client hosting, a team-building day, a product launch, an awards dinner or an end-of-year celebration, the deck is yours for the booked window. Catering, drinks, a sound system and microphone for presentations, décor and light branding, and a photographer are all arranged on request and quoted separately. Fixed-price yachts for up to 40 guests can be reserved online; 90- and 150-guest event yachts and bespoke production remain quote requests. Luma is TÜRSAB-licensed (#14316), operating on the Bosphorus since 2001 with 50,000+ guests hosted — a safe, professional choice for a company event.
The water you cover
Karaköy out along the European shore and back — Dolmabahçe, Çırağan, Ortaköy, Arnavutköy, Bebek, Rumeli Fortress. On a private charter the turn-around is yours: go further, linger somewhere, or stop for a swim in summer.
Before you enquire
- Where you board
- Karaköy Pier, in the centre of Istanbul. We confirm the exact spot with your booking.
- What the price covers
- The whole yacht for your group, not a price per person. Crew and fuel are in the quote.
- Paying
- No online payment and no deposit to enquire. You settle on board.
- Children
- Children pay half and under-threes travel free. Both count towards the yacht's guest number.
- Changing your mind
- Cancellation and changes are set out in your quote — we are glad to reschedule where dates allow.

- Two hours or eight, timed around your evening rather than a schedule
- Anyone who would rather choose where the boat turns than follow a route

Guests on the water
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.

Finding the pier
Karaköy is a working pier in the middle of the city, not a terminal — so the last two minutes are the part worth reading.
- By car
- Karaköy Meydanı is as close as a car gets. The final stretch to the water is pedestrian, so allow a minute on foot.
- From the Asian side
- The Kadıköy ferry lands at Karaköy, a short walk from where we board — and it is the better arrival of the two.
- Tram or Marmaray
- The T1 stops at Karaköy. From Sirkeci it is roughly twelve minutes on foot over Galata Bridge.
- With luggage
- There is nowhere to leave bags at the pier, so come from your hotel rather than straight from the airport.
Yours is the only party boarding, so there is no queue and no head count at the gate. Message us when you are close.
Aboard a Luma charter
What's included in a corporate yacht charter price?
A corporate yacht charter with Luma starts at €220, and that figure is for the whole boat — exclusively yours for the booked window, with a professional licensed captain and crew included, and the Bosphorus route past the waterfront palaces and under the bridges. The agenda and timing are built around your brief rather than a fixed tour script, whether that is a daytime working session or an evening reception. What the base charter does not automatically include is catering and drinks, a sound system and microphone for presentations, light branding and décor, and a photographer — these are arranged on request and quoted transparently alongside the charter, so your finance team sees a single all-in figure with nothing hidden. The final price then depends on the size of yacht your headcount needs and how long you sail, matched across our seven charter choices, including two newly listed private yachts.
What corporate occasions suit a yacht charter?
A private yacht works for client hosting and entertaining, team-building and away-days, product launches and press events, awards and gala dinners, networking receptions and end-of-year celebrations. Because the boat is exclusively yours, the agenda runs on your terms — a working session with a view, or a relaxed evening to thank a team. We tailor the timing and route to the brief rather than a fixed tour script.
Catering, AV and branding on request
We arrange catering and drinks to suit the occasion — from canapés and a reception bar to a seated dinner — plus a sound system and microphone for speeches or presentations, light branding and décor, and a photographer to capture the event. Everything is arranged on request and quoted transparently with your charter, so you can plan the run of show with confidence and no hidden costs.
How many guests can you host?
Capacity depends on the yacht, and we match the vessel to your group — from an intimate client dinner to a larger reception on our event-deck yacht, part of our seven charter choices, including two newly listed private yachts. Tell us the expected headcount and the format (standing reception or seated meal) and we recommend the right boat and quote it. Larger groups, full-day hire and multi-boat events are priced individually.
Where corporate charters board
Corporate charters sail the Bosphorus, boarding from a central Istanbul pier we confirm with you for easy guest access on both the European and Asian sides. The route runs past the waterfront palaces and under the bridges, with timing built around your agenda — daytime working sessions or evening receptions. For an evening that sets off at golden hour, see our sunset charter.
How to book a corporate charter
Choose a fixed-price yacht, duration, date and headcount online for groups of up to 40. Catering, AV, branding, the 90- and 150-guest event yachts and other bespoke production are quoted separately, and we can provide the details your finance team needs. Once confirmed, your captain and our crew handle the logistics so your team can focus on the guests. For the full charter detail, see our yacht charter guide.
