New York City Yacht Charters

Firstly, some good-to-know tips as you’re planning your event:

Charters typically run for about 4 hours
Charters ALWAYS include a captain and for parties above 6, a deckhand
You can charter a barebone boat or ask for catering or BYO (bring your own food)
Charter guests in nautical terms are souls and all souls are counted, regardless of age
Yacht charter costs start at about $299 per hour (smaller 40 foot yachts and up) to about $1,000 an hour for 100 foot
Yes, there are mid-week deals!
Parties of under 6 souls do not need a boat with a Federal Coast Guard COI – all other parties do!
A 3-4 hour charter will typically get you up and down the Hudson river from about 120th street to the Statue of Liberty and back at a nice relaxing pace.
Yes, you can celebrate your wedding on a yacht!

We have a handy event planner you can use to put together all of the information you need!

How many guests are in my party
A flexible date range (weekends are very popular)
Do I need catering or will I BYO
Where do I want to start from – we have a list of Marinas for NY and NJ
How long do I want to go for – the average is about 4 hours and the minimum is usually 3 hours

We recommend a budget of about $4,000 – $5,000 for a party of 15-20 and with a full bar and catering about $6,000.

Deposits vary by yacht but usually 50% upfront. Gratuities are at 20%.
