Welcome the new year in the middle of the Bosphorus
On New Year's Eve, the Bosphorus is the most enchanting place in Istanbul: the bridges glitter, the palaces are illuminated and celebrations break out across the city at midnight. On a private New Year's Eve yacht, you spend the night not in a crowded venue but with only your family, friends or colleagues.
Your gala dinner is served in our heated salon with its large windows; as midnight approaches, the yacht takes position in front of the bridge and you count down on deck.

Your booking is confirmed once a 30% deposit of the total price is paid. The balance is paid before the cruise begins, in cash, by credit card or by bank transfer. If you cancel more than 7 days before departure, the deposit is fully refunded.
Where does the yacht depart from?
Our departure pier is in Bebek. Pick-up and drop-off at a different pier can be arranged together with you, depending on your plan.
