An Elegant & Unique Experience
Mercan 5 is among our most budget-friendly custom-built motor yachts at ₺5,500/hour — but 'affordable' here doesn't mean 'lower standard'. Her 18-metre hull, comfortable 13-guest capacity, 2 cabins and air-conditioned interior salon offer the same yacht experience to small-to-mid groups at a more accessible price point.
She's right-scaled for couples and small groups: the aft dining deck seats 10–12, the air-conditioned interior salon serves as a cool-down and conversation zone, and the upper deck lounge and foredeck sunbathing platform cover open-air needs. The 2 cabins can serve as daytime rest or changing areas. Fully equipped galley, sound system, TV and AC are standard.
Mercan 5's most popular use cases are small birthdays, weekend Bosphorus cruises for couples or friend groups, romantic dinners and family days. She's the ideal entry point for guests saying 'this is my first yacht charter, I want a low-risk start' — clients who later return for larger groups are typically pointed toward Mercan 6 or Almira.
Standard departure is Kuruçeşme; alternative locations (Bebek, Ortaköy, Beşiktaş) may carry an extra fee. The classic 2–3 hour Bosphorus cruise is most popular; sunset (18:00–21:00) and afternoon (13:00–17:00) are the busiest windows.
Hourly rate ₺5,500 — fuel and 2 crew included; no surprises. Private chef, breakfast, cocktail menu, lunch and serving services are optional — share your needs at booking for a transparent quote. Minimum 2 hours. Send your date and time; within 24 hours we'll confirm and set up Mercan 5 for your day.
