Saying ‘I Do’ Between Two Continents: Luxury Yacht Weddings on the Bosphorus and Beyond

Imagine beginning your forever journey where Europe meets Asia — on the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus, framed by palaces, bridges, and sunset reflections of Istanbul’s skyline. At Bosphorus Cruise Tours (BCT), we turn this vision into an unforgettable reality — a floating celebration of love, elegance, and timeless beauty.

A New Definition of Waterfront Weddings

Whether you dream of an intimate yacht wedding for 20 guests or a grand celebration for up to 450, our curated fleet offers a collection of luxury yachts and private boats that redefine what a destination wedding in Turkey can be.
Each vessel combines architectural grace, fine gastronomy, and cinematic views — ideal for boutique weddings, cocktail soirées, or multi-day celebrations.

From welcome champagne receptions to finger-food cocktail prolongés with professional service teams, every detail is refined to match your signature style. Guests can enjoy pass-around service during the cruise, or step into the main saloon for a seated dinner framed by candlelight and the glittering skyline.

Halas: The Jewel of the Bosphorus

For those who seek something truly extraordinary, Halas 71 — our rare-collection heritage yacht — offers a wedding experience beyond compare.
Once the choice of royals, diplomats, and global icons, Halas welcomes up to 120 guests (ideal for 80) for prestigious gatherings and luxury weddings.

From mid-October to mid-June, she graces Istanbul’s historic waters; during summer (mid-June to early October), she sails elegantly along Bodrum’s turquoise coast — making her perfect for both Bosphorus weddings and summer charters.
Her 12 luxury cabins offer rare overnight accommodations — imagine waking up as newlyweds with your closest circle, surrounded by the Aegean breeze.

Beyond the Ceremony: Celebration Continues at Sea

A yacht wedding in Istanbul is more than a day — it’s a journey.
Host your ceremony on the Bosphorus, then continue the celebration in Bodrum with a post-wedding cruise or after-party charter. Many couples choose to sail into their honeymoon directly — transforming their wedding into a week-long luxury voyage with family and friends.

Our expert team curates every element — from floral design to live music, menu planning, and professional photography — ensuring that your wedding unfolds seamlessly across continents.

Direct Boarding from Istanbul’s Waterfront Hotels

For absolute convenience and elegance, our yachts can collect guests directly from select waterfront hotels and private piers — offering effortless logistics and a grand entrance your guests will never forget.
