Private Event Charters

Host a Private Event on the Water with Unforgettable Skyline Views

Turn your next celebration into something guests will talk about long after they step back on shore. Our private event charters offer a one-of-a-kind setting for gatherings of every style, combining open water, iconic New York City views, and a dedicated crew focused on your experience from start to finish.

From intimate celebrations to large-scale events, our private boats provide a flexible venue that feels both exclusive and distinctly New York.

This is not just a boat rental. It’s a hosted event on the water.

The Experience Starts the Moment You Board

Our team works closely with you to shape the flow of your cruise, from boarding to final docking. Whether your event centers around dining, music, mingling, or simply enjoying the skyline, we help create a pace and layout that fits the occasion.

Expect attentive service, experienced captains, and a crew that understands how to manage events on the water so you can stay present with your guests.
