An Elegant & Unique Experience
River EM has the highest 'bathroom/cabin ratio' in our Istanbul fleet — a 22-metre hull, 20 guests, 3 cabins and 3 separate bathrooms. The detail makes a difference at 4–6 hour events: no queues at crowded tables, no logistical issues with families, no comfort drop on long charters. With a 3-person professional crew, she's the choice for extended-event events.
She's laid out to spread a 20-guest group comfortably: aft dining deck seating 14–16, air-conditioned spacious interior salon, upper deck lounge and foredeck sunbathing platform. The 3 cabins serve varied uses — changing, rest, child sleep/rest. The 3 separate bathrooms prevent service-flow loss at crowded events. Fully equipped galley, sound system, AC and TV are standard.
River EM is especially chosen for long charters (5–8 hours), all-day corporate picnics, family days, events with children and marina-based overnight programs. The 3-person crew (captain, engineer, service lead) works without showing fatigue on long flows. For catering-linked programs, the fully equipped galley supports hot and cold service with sufficient space.
Standard departure is Bebek; Ortaköy and Beşiktaş on request. The classic Bebek-Bridge-Fortress 2–3 hour cruise is possible, but River EM shines on 4–6 hour comprehensive plans — Bridge-to-Bridge with Asian-shore extension, cove break with swim + lunch, or sunset + dinner concept. SUP, snorkel and fishing gear are standard; controlled swim breaks can be planned for child-inclusive programs.
Hourly rate ₺6,000 — fuel and 3 crew included; no surprises. Minimum 2 hours, but River EM's character emerges on 4+ hour use. Cake, floral decoration, catering, photo/video and a child entertainment lead (popular on family programs) are extras; concept brief gets quoted in 24 hours. Reserve River EM for a long Bosphorus day that runs without a hitch.
