Eating on board a private yacht in Istanbul
On a private cruise the food is part of the experience. Our chef prepares every menu on board, from a Turkish breakfast on the morning water to a full dinner with mezes as the bridges light up. Menus are served on private yachts for groups of 10 or more and can be combined for larger groups.
Below are all our standard menus with what each includes. Tap "View full menu" to see the complete printed menu. Any menu can be added to a Bosphorus yacht charter, a private dinner cruise or an event such as a company event or a celebration.
Our menus, from breakfast to dinner
Every cruise starts with a welcome drink and light snacks, included in the price. For a full meal, choose one of our eight menus, prepared fresh and served on board, from a Turkish breakfast in the morning to a three-course dinner under the lights.
