Meal menus start at €55 per person.

- How do I book a yacht in Istanbul with Luma?
- Open the yacht that fits your group, choose the date and number of hours in its planner and send the request. Our licensed team then checks that the date is open, holding nothing and asking no deposit, and confirms either the total shown on the yacht's page or a written quote for event yachts and request-only extras. You book with us directly, not through a marketplace, and nothing is paid online.
- Where do charters depart from?
- Every Luma yacht boards at Karaköy Pier, a central pier reached by the T1 tram or Marmaray. Another pier is possible on request and may carry an extra charge.
