How much does a wedding on a yacht cost in Istanbul?

A 4-hour wedding dinner on a private yacht in Istanbul costs from €1,290 in total for the couple alone on our small yacht Blue Horizon, €2,970 for 20 guests on the mid-size yacht Ocean Breeze, and from €4,250 for 20 guests to €6,050 for 50 guests on our luxury yacht White Istanbul. Every package includes the private yacht with captain and crew, a wedding dinner, soft drinks, white and gold decoration, fresh flowers and a wedding cake.

A wedding dinner on the Bosphorus is an evening your guests will talk about for years. You board together in the centre of Istanbul, the yacht sails past palaces and waterfront mansions as the sun goes down, and dinner is served at a white and gold table under the illuminated bridges. Whether it is just the two of you or your closest family and friends, choose the yacht that fits your guest list: the price is a clear total for the whole evening.

Perfect for

  • Intimate weddings and elopements for two
  • A wedding dinner after your civil ceremony
  • Wedding receptions for family and close friends
  • Vow renewals and wedding anniversaries
