Corporate Events Istanbul on the Bosphorus

Take your business event away from the conventional meeting room with Corporate Events Istanbul aboard a private yacht or event boat on the Bosphorus.

Whether you are welcoming international clients, rewarding employees, launching a product, hosting a networking dinner or bringing colleagues together after a conference, a private Bosphorus venue combines business hospitality with one of Istanbul’s most distinctive settings.

Every corporate event has different objectives.

A small executive meeting may require privacy, comfortable seating and presentation equipment. A client dinner may focus on catering and service. A larger company celebration may need multiple decks, buffet service, branding, speeches, music and entertainment.

For this reason, the vessel and event format are selected according to your guest count, seating requirements, catering plan, technical needs and schedule.

Cruise between Europe and Asia while your guests enjoy views of Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragan Palace, Ortakoy Mosque, the Bosphorus bridges, waterfront mansions, Beylerbeyi Palace and Maiden’s Tower.

Daytime events work well for meetings, incentives and team activities, while sunset and evening cruises create a strong setting for client entertainment, networking dinners and company celebrations.

Food and beverage arrangements can range from coffee breaks and canapés to buffet lunches, cocktail receptions and seated dinners.

Depending on the selected vessel, we can also coordinate microphones, screens, presentation equipment, company branding, welcome desks, photographers, DJs, live music and private guest transfers.

Rather than offering one fixed corporate package, we build the event around what your company needs to accomplish.
