A boat birthday organization is the holding of birthday celebrations on the sea, usually in regions with unique views such as the Bosphorus in Istanbul, on private boats. Unlike traditional venues, these types of organizations offer guests a unique experience. The peace of being on the sea, combined with the historical and natural beauties of the Bosphorus, creates unforgettable moments. Also, celebrations on a boat provide a perfect backdrop for photo and video shoots, making your memories even more special.
To plan a boat birthday organization, you must first contact a reliable boat rental company. The reservation process generally includes the following steps: determining needs (number of participants, date, time, menu preferences, and additional services), boat selection, price quote and contract, payment (usually a certain percentage of the total amount is taken as a deposit). It is recommended that reservations be made at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during the summer months and on weekends due to high demand. This makes it easier for you to find a suitable boat on your desired date and time.
Boat birthday organization prices vary depending on the number of participants, boat features, menu options, and additional services. For example, prices for a 2-hour boat rental, alcoholic dinner menu for 2 people, table decoration, balloon decoration, and laser show on the Bosphorus Bridge start from 12,500 TL. These prices usually include services such as boat rental, food and beverage service, table and boat decoration, and music broadcasting. Additional services (such as photographer, video shooting, live music, special cake) may require an extra fee.
Boat birthday organizations generally last between 2 to 4 hours. The duration can be adjusted according to the preferences of the participants and the planned activities. For example, a specific time frame should be planned for activities such as food service, music and dance, and laser shows. Also, some companies may be receptive to requests for additional time, but this may be subject to an additional fee
The following menu options are generally offered for boat birthday organizations: cocktail menu (snacks, canapés, mini sandwiches, nuts, and beverages), breakfast menu (various cheeses and olives, tomato, cucumber, pepper salad, honey, jam, butter, salami, boiled eggs, menemen, bread, bagels, paçanga and cigar pastries, french fries, seasonal fruits, tea, coffee, fruit juices), set menu (5 types of cold appetizers, 2 types of hot appetizers, main course of fish or mixed grill, seasonal salad, mixed seasonal fruits, beverages). The menu content should be determined in detail before the organization and agreed upon with the company.
The entertainment and music options offered for boat birthday organizations are quite diverse. Professional DJ services, live music bands, Turkish classical music groups, or special playlists can be preferred. To further enhance the entertainment, events such as dance shows, laser and light shows, fireworks displays, and interactive games can be organized. Additionally, there are organizations that offer karaoke opportunities on the boat. The entertainment program can be shaped according to the wishes of the organization owner.
Boat birthday organizations generally require stylish but comfortable clothing. It is recommended that the birthday celebrant and guests dress appropriately for the sea environment, taking into account weather conditions. Especially instead of high-heeled shoes, more balanced and non-slip shoes should be preferred. Also, it will be beneficial to have a light jacket or shawl with you, as it may be cool in the evenings. If the organization includes a specific theme or concept, clothing choices should be made accordingly.
Weather conditions are an important factor in organizations on the sea. Although the weather is usually suitable in the summer months, precautions should be taken against the possibility of wind and rain. Most organization companies offer closed lounge areas and heating systems on boats in case of adverse weather conditions. If weather conditions may affect the planned flow of the organization, alternative solutions and postponement options should be discussed with the organization company.
The ideal hours for a boat birthday organization are generally sunset hours and evening hours. Sunset offers a fascinating atmosphere for those who want to experience the unique view of the Bosphorus or the seaside in the best way. This time frame, also known as the golden hour, is the most suitable light for photo shoots and creates a romantic, peaceful ambiance on the boat. In the evening hours, a more lively and fun environment is provided with the city lights and the colorful illuminations of the Bosphorus Bridge. For those planning an entertainment-focused organization, birthday events held in the evening hours offer a more dynamic experience with elements such as DJ performances, dance shows, and light shows. Regarding the choice of day, weekday organizations offer a calmer atmosphere, while weekends are busier, so reservations should be made in advance. Especially during the summer months, weekends can fill up quickly, so making a reservation a few weeks in advance is advantageous. In the winter months, boats with closed areas should be preferred, and weather conditions should be taken into account.
When choosing a boat for a boat birthday organization, first of all, it is necessary to determine the number of participants and the concept of the organization. Choosing a boat suitable for the number of guests ensures that everyone can move comfortably during the event. For large groups, boats with wide decks and closed areas should be preferred, while boutique yachts or private boats will be sufficient for more intimate and small groups. Whether the boat has closed areas is of great importance depending on weather conditions. Especially in winter or windy weather, having closed areas and heating systems on the boat is important for comfort. If an entertainment-oriented organization is planned, it should be checked whether the boat has features such as a sound system, DJ booth, and dance floor. It should also be discussed with the company in advance whether music broadcasting is allowed at high volume. If a dining organization is considered, boats with kitchens or those offering food service should be preferred. Detailed information should be obtained about menu options, beverage service, and special diet options. In terms of safety, it is important that the boat is well-maintained and has a sufficient number of life jackets and emergency equipment.
