We don't put a single boat on a pedestal — we match the right vessel to your party and your evening. From an intimate sunset yacht for two to a 150-guest event deck, every Vesper charter is whole-boat and crewed, from €200.
Vesper is a direct Bosphorus charter operator, and we work across a handpicked set of motor yachts — plus sister vessels not listed online — so we can match the boat to the evening rather than the other way round. When you enquire, we look at three things: your party size, your occasion and your budget. A proposal for two suits the Amber Couples Yacht at golden hour; a family birthday wants room to spread out; a wedding reception for ninety needs the Skyline Event Yacht with space for catering. Every charter is whole-boat and crewed — captain, crew and fuel included — and priced from €200depending on the vessel, your hours and the season. Tell us what you're planning on WhatsApp and we recommend the right yacht and send a fixed, all-in quote. Vesper is TÜRSAB-licensed (A Group #14316), sailing since 2001.
The fleet
A guide to the kinds of yacht we charter for the golden hour on the Bosphorus. Exact vessels are confirmed with your quote — we reserve the boat that best fits your date, headcount and occasion.
Vessel 1 · Up to 12 guests
Best for: Couples · proposals · honeymoons
Our most personal hull for the golden hour — an easy-to-board boutique motor yacht for two, or a handful of people who want the amber light to themselves. An open deck for the sunset, a sheltered saloon for after, and a crew that stays quietly out of the moment.
Vessel 2 · Up to 15 guests
Best for: Families · small celebrations · golden-hour days
A roomier motor yacht with a wider top deck and a more comfortable lounge than the boutique class — made for a family or a close circle who want space to spread out as the sun drops. Easy boarding, a generous deck for the toast, and room for the little ones too.
Vessel 3 · Up to 40 guests
Best for: Milestone birthdays · groups · evening parties
A group-class motor yacht with a roomy entertaining deck and a sound system aboard — for the celebration that wants the golden hour and a soundtrack to go with it. Space to gather, raise a glass and keep the evening going as the lights of the strait come up.
Vessel 4 · Up to 90 guests
Best for: Weddings · corporate evenings · launches
An event-class yacht built for hosting at golden hour — broad deck space, room for catering and a moving venue that carries a guest list past the lit waterfront. The right vessel for a wedding reception, a client evening or a launch with the amber skyline behind you.
Vessel 5 · Up to 150 guests
Best for: Galas · large weddings · brand evenings
Our largest charter — a multi-deck event yacht for the grand occasion, configured for large weddings, gala dinners and brand evenings of up to 150 guests. Several decks, full catering capacity and the whole golden hour with the city lights coming up around you.
Capacities and classes are a guide. As a direct operator we also hold access to sister yachts that aren't listed online — if your party or brief is unusual, ask, and we'll find the right boat for your golden hour.
