Private Yacht Rental in Istanbul

Renting a private yacht in Istanbul is one of the most exclusive ways to experience the city from the water. Instead of crowded tour boats, a private yacht gives you full control over your route, timing, and onboard atmosphere. Whether you want a calm daytime cruise, a sunset experience, or a special celebration, private yacht rental offers comfort, privacy, and flexibility while sailing along the Bosphorus.

From historic palaces and waterfront mansions to panoramic views where Europe and Asia meet, a private yacht allows you to enjoy Istanbul at your own pace, without compromises.

Private Yacht Routes on the Bosphorus and Beyond

Most private yacht rentals focus on the Bosphorus, where you can cruise past iconic landmarks such as Dolmabahçe Palace, Ortaköy Mosque, the Bosphorus Bridge, and historic waterfront mansions.

The route can be adjusted depending on your preferences, cruising duration, and weather conditions.

For guests who want more variety, private yachts can also be arranged for longer routes, including island and swimming-focused experiences.

Island and Swimming Yacht Experiences

One of the biggest advantages of private yacht rental in Istanbul is access to destinations that are difficult to reach by land.

The Princes’ Islands offer a peaceful escape with historic houses, quiet streets, and clear waters. During warmer months, swimming cruises toward secluded coves provide a refreshing break from the city.

These routes are especially popular in summer and can be combined with swimming stops, onboard meals, and relaxed cruising away from busy areas.
