No crowds, no shared tables, just your people. Instead of a packed restaurant or nightclub, host a fully personalised private New Year’s Eve yacht party in Istanbul designed around your group.
What’s Included
- Exclusive private yacht chartered for your group alone
- Professional captain & crew
- Private chef and a customised New Year’s Eve dinner
- Open bar – unlimited local drinks, soft drinks, tea & coffee
- Champagne for the midnight countdown
- Live entertainment – DJ, live music and Turkish performances on request

Exclusively Yours
The yacht is reserved for your group alone. Every detail – the menu, the drinks, the entertainment, the décor and the timing – is arranged around you, whether it’s an intimate family dinner, a corporate celebration or a large private party.
Dining – Private Chef on Board
A chef cooks on board and builds the menu around your group: welcome drink, Turkish meze and appetizers, seasonal salads and a hot starter, a main of your choice (chicken, beef, grilled sea bream or a full vegetarian selection), then baklava and seasonal fruit. Traditional Turkish, seafood, premium meat, international or vegetarian – built to your preferences and dietary needs.
Open Bar
Unlimited beer, wine, gin, vodka, soft drinks, tea and coffee throughout the cruise, and champagne for the midnight countdown. Premium and imported brands can be arranged in advance on request.
Live Entertainment
A programme tailored to your group and party size – a live DJ, live musicians, a belly dancer, or a traditional Turkish music-and-dance ensemble, with folk, Romani and whirling-dervish performances available on request. Tell us the mood and we build the line-up.
Midnight on the Water
As midnight approaches, cruise through the heart of the Bosphorus – palaces, waterfront mansions and lit bridges on both shores – and raise a glass of champagne to the New Year with the city glittering around you.
