To participate in a New Year's Eve organization on a boat, you must first contact the company organizing the event. After getting information about the capacity of the boat you choose, the services offered, and the event program, the reservation process begins. Most companies require a certain percentage of the total organization fee (usually 40-50%) as a deposit to confirm the reservation. Since there is high demand for boats on special days like New Year's Eve, it is recommended to make reservations at least 1-2 months in advance. Especially if you have special requests such as a specific music group, DJ, or food service, it is important to secure these services by planning early.

Prices for New Year's Eve celebrations on a boat vary depending on the content of the organization, the services offered, and the size of the boat. Generally, per person prices can range from 750 TL to 2500 TL. A standard New Year's Eve package includes a welcome cocktail, main course (red meat, white meat, or seafood options), dessert, and unlimited beverage service. In terms of entertainment, live music, DJ performance, dance shows, and the opportunity to watch fireworks displays over the Bosphorus can also be offered. Special VIP boats may include additional services such as champagne service, private seating areas, and personalized menus.

New Year's Eve parties on a boat include many different events that maximize entertainment. Throughout the night, guests are accompanied by live music bands or professional DJ performances. Events such as dance shows, oriental shows, interactive games, and New Year's raffles make the night more colorful. When the clock strikes exactly 00:00, the fireworks displays held over the Bosphorus create a fascinating atmosphere. Guests have a fun experience with special New Year's themed decorations and mask-party concepts while taking a boat tour of the most beautiful spots in Istanbul.

When choosing clothes for a New Year's Eve party on a boat, it is important to prefer both a stylish and weather-appropriate combination. Since the weather in Istanbul can be quite cold as of December, it is recommended to wear clothes that will keep you warm but not restrict movement. Long-sleeved stylish dresses, a stylish jacket, and comfortable shoes may be suitable for women. For men, smart-casual or a suit can be preferred. Wearing comfortable and non-slip shoes is important for your safety to prevent slipping on the boat floor.

Most New Year's Eve events held on boats are geared towards adults, and since alcoholic beverages are served, guests under the age of 18 are generally not accepted. However, some boats organize New Year's Eve events in family-friendly concepts, offering special sections and entertainment options for children. If you want to spend New Year's Eve on a boat with your children, you should prefer boats suitable for a family concept.

Weather conditions should be taken into account when organizing an event on a boat in the winter months. However, New Year's Eve boats are generally equipped with closed lounge areas, heating systems, and wind-protected sections. Thus, no matter how cold or rainy the weather is, guests can enjoy themselves comfortably indoors. Additionally, in bad weather conditions, boats cruise in calmer waters on certain routes, minimizing the impact of waves and wind on guests.

Seating arrangements on boats are usually planned in two different ways: buffet and table service. VIP tables or lounge sections can be reserved for small groups, while a cocktail arrangement where everyone can move comfortably can be preferred for larger parties. Private boats may have separate compartments and personal areas for guests. If you are making a reservation as a large group, you can request a suitable place to be reserved by discussing the seating arrangement with the organization company in advance.

Guest safety is prioritized in events organized on boats. Each boat has a sufficient number of life jackets and life-saving equipment. In addition, the entire crew is trained in emergency procedures and is competent to intervene in situations such as a possible health problem or a sea accident. Guest identity checks may be carried out upon boarding the boat, and in some cases, an age limit may be applied for alcohol consumption.

On some boats, guests can bring their own music playlists and make special requests to the DJ booth. While flexibility in music selection is provided for private organizations, the music flow determined within the program is followed in general New Year's Eve parties. If you want a special song list or a specific style of music to be played, you can contact the organization company in advance and share the details with the DJ or live music team.
