A practical guide to planning a private engagement party afloat in Side, Manavgat or Antalya: how to choose the boat, work out guest numbers, and arrange extras like catering, decoration, a cake and a photographer on request. Book a private boat and enquire online for a per-boat quote.
To plan an engagement party on a boat in Side, book a private boat in Side hired just for your group, then arrange extras on request. Send us your date and guest number and we quote one price per boat, split across everyone. Catering, decoration, a cake, flowers, champagne, music or a photographer are added to suit the occasion. Hotel transfer is arranged too.
\n\nWhy a private boat suits an engagement party
\nWe run these boats out of Side, Manavgat and Antalya, and an engagement is one of the occasions they handle best. When you hire a private boat, the whole vessel is yours for the day or evening. No strangers on board, no fixed timetable you have to share, and no wondering whether the quiet moment you planned will land in the middle of someone else's holiday.
\nThat privacy is the point. You choose who comes, where you cruise, and how the day flows. Our captains know the coast well and will time the route around what matters to you, be that a calm swim stop, a sunset toast, or simply staying near a stretch of water your family will remember.
\n\nHow pricing works: per boat, not per seat
\nThis is the part people most often get wrong. A private boat is priced per boat on request and you split that one price across your group. It is not a per-seat ticket. So for two people a private charter can look dear, but for a party of a dozen or more it usually works out sensibly, because everyone shares the same single figure.
\nWe do not publish a set engagement package with a fixed price, because no two events are the same. The honest way to do it is this: tell us your date, your group size, and roughly what you want on the day. We then quote one price per boat, and any extras are quoted per event on top. Live pricing and the enquiry form sit on each private tour page.
\n\nChoosing the right boat for your group
\nThe boat you pick depends mostly on how many guests you have and the feel you want. A sleek motor yacht reads differently from a classic wooden gulet, and both make a fine engagement setting for different reasons. Here is how our main private options compare at a glance.

\n\nWorking out guest numbers
\nGuest numbers drive nearly every other decision, so settle them early. Each boat has its own comfortable capacity, and rather than quote a figure that may not fit your chosen vessel, we confirm the right number for the specific boat when you enquire. As a rule of thumb, decide first whether you want a tight, couple-focused gathering or a fuller party with wider family and friends, then let us match the boat to that.
\nA few things worth thinking through before you send your enquiry:
\n- \n
- Firm headcount: a realistic number of adults and children helps us size the boat correctly. \n
- Children on board: tell us if little ones are coming, so we plan a calm route and swim stops. \n
- Time of day: a daytime cruise and an evening sunset event have different rhythms. \n
- Must-have moment: the toast, the ring, the speech, so the captain can time the route around it. \n
Extras arranged on request
\nThe boat is the venue; the extras make it an engagement party. All of these are arranged on request and quoted per event, rather than sold as a fixed bundle, so you only pay for what you actually want:
\n- \n
- Catering to suit your group and the length of the trip. \n
- Decoration on deck to set the scene for the occasion. \n
- A cake for the moment itself. \n
- Flowers to dress the boat or surprise your partner. \n
- Champagne for the toast. \n
- Music to carry the atmosphere. \n
- A photographer so the day is properly captured. \n
Because these are quoted per event, the honest answer to \"how much is the cake\" or \"what's the catering menu\" is that it depends on your choices and your numbers. Send the details and we will price it clearly. Tell us which extras matter and we will fold them into one straightforward quote.
\n\nWhere you set off from, and transfers
\nMost engagement parties we arrange leave from the Side and Manavgat area, but Antalya is an option too depending on where your guests are staying. You can browse departures by hub on our boats from Side page, or see what leaves from Antalya further along the coast. Choosing the departure point closest to your group keeps the morning simple and the transfer short.
\nWe arrange hotel transfer for your guests. They are picked up from their hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel. That way nobody has to organise their own way to the harbour, and the party starts the moment everyone is aboard. From there the day runs to your plan: cruise, swim, toast, celebrate, and let the captain handle the sea while you handle the guests. Everything you have arranged in advance, from decoration to the photographer, is set up so you can simply enjoy it.
\n\nHow to book and enquire
\nBooking is straightforward. Pick a private product that suits your group, open its page, and send an enquiry with your date, guest number and the extras you have in mind. We reply with a per-boat quote and the extras priced per event. You can book and enquire entirely online, and there is no obligation to commit before you have seen the figures.
\n\nFrequently asked questions
\n\nHow much does an engagement party on a boat cost?
\nA private boat is priced per boat on request, not per seat, and any extras are quoted per event. There is no fixed engagement package price because every event differs. Send your date and guest number through a private tour page and we will quote one clear price, plus any extras you choose.
\n\nHow many guests can come?
\nIt depends on the boat you choose. Each vessel has its own comfortable capacity, so rather than guess, tell us your headcount and we will match a boat that fits your party and confirm the number for that specific boat.
\n\nCan you arrange catering, a cake and decoration?
\nYes. Catering, decoration, a cake, flowers, champagne, music and a photographer are all arranged on request and quoted per event. You choose what you want and we price it, so you only pay for the extras that matter to your day.
\n\nDo you sort out transfers from our hotel?
\nWe do. Guests are picked up from their hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel. That keeps the morning simple and means the whole group arrives together.
\n\nWhich boat should we choose?
\nFor an intimate celebration, the private VIP boat from Side suits couples and smaller parties. For larger groups, a private yacht or a classic gulet works well. Tell us your numbers and we will recommend the right one.
