Spend New Year's Eve in Istanbul on a yacht reserved exclusively for your group. From 22:00 on 31 December 2026 until 02:00 on New Year's morning, you cruise the Bosphorus between Europe and Asia with your own table, dinner served on board and a confirmed selection of local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
There is no shared dining room and no table next to strangers. The deck, the music and the moment at midnight belong to your party, whether that is a couple, a family or a group of friends celebrating together.
We assign the yacht according to your group size and availability, then confirm the yacht, the menu, the drinks and the total price in a written offer before you pay anything. The starting price is €2,000 for the entire group, or €1,800 with Early Booking until 30 November 2026.
Both are good ways to see the Bosphorus on New Year's Eve; they simply suit different evenings.
A private yacht is booked for your group alone. You don't share tables or space with other guests, the atmosphere is calmer and more personal, and you can discuss the menu, drinks and extras before the booking is confirmed. Families with children, groups of friends and anyone celebrating a birthday or anniversary tend to prefer it, and because the price is per group rather than per ticket, it often compares well once you are six or more.
A shared dinner cruise sells individual tickets on a larger boat. The cost per person is usually lower, there is often a bigger stage programme with dancers and a band, and the room has a lively, social mood. For two people looking for a show, it can be the better fit.
If privacy, space and a celebration shaped around your own group matter most, choose the private yacht.
The Bosphorus is the strait that runs through the middle of Istanbul, with Europe on one shore and Asia on the other. At night the bridges are lit, waterfront palaces and old wooden mansions glow along the water, and the city's hills rise on both sides.
Depending on the confirmed route, a night cruise in the central Bosphorus typically passes Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace and Ortaköy on the European shore, the Bosphorus Bridge, and the Beylerbeyi waterfront and historic mansions on the Asian side. The captain sets the exact route on the night according to the pier and conditions, so we share the planned route with your offer rather than promising specific landmarks.
Yachts take up to 15 guests, subject to the licensed capacity of the yacht assigned to you. For larger groups, ask us about bigger yachts.
The private yacht starts at €2,000 for the entire group. With Early Booking until 30 November 2026, the starting price is €1,800 for the entire group.
The final quote depends on the yacht assigned to your group, the number of guests, the menu, the drinks package and any extras you add. You receive it in writing before you confirm. If you are weighing other ways to celebrate, compare New Year's Eve restaurants in Istanbul or hotel gala nights.
Dinner is served on board as you cruise, starting soon after departure so the table is cleared well before midnight. The menu below is a sample of what our yachts serve on New Year’s Eve: Turkish mezze and starters, a choice of main course and a dessert selection. Your final menu is confirmed with the yacht before booking, and we are happy to discuss vegetarian options, allergies and other dietary preferences when you send your request.
