#1 Sailboat Charter In NYC ★★★★★

Perfect experience for a family, small group of local friends, or tourists. Stunning city skyscapes and incredible sunset views! Gino and Caleb were an amazing staff - friendly, knowledgeable and so accommodating. The night had an unexpectedly perfect ending with a fireworks show over the Hudson, too. Could not recommend more!

We LOVED our sail today! Captain Caleb and Gino were both knowledgeable and accommodating. My family and I went to celebrate my birthday. We highly recommend the sail to anyone looking to see NYC and the sites from a different vantage while enjoying the water and an awesome boat ride. We can’t wait to do it again!!!!

Wonderful brunch cruise along the Hudson River. We were made very welcome, the captain and crew really looked after us, very relaxed. This is a must on your trip to NYC. I will definitely do this again on this gorgeous boat! Thank you for such a lovely time.

We loved our experience with them! Boarding was super easy and the captain was experienced and witty. They set us up with drinks and music right at the beginning and really let us do our own thing the entire trip checking in to see what we needed often. None of us had any experience on a boat but anything we needed to know they explained early on (not a whole lot other than safely moving around the boat because they handled everything). All 6 of us would do it again, loved it! Phenomenal way to view the city skyline and Statue of Liberty!

We had such a wonderful time sailing yesterday. The boat was just the right size, the captain and crew provided excellent service. We hope to make this a monthly experience with you all. It was one of the most peaceful experiences we had in nyc. It was an excellent way to experience the city.

We decided to treat ourselves for a birthday/Anniversary private sail around the NY harbor. This sunset sail was absolutely beautiful and totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you Caleb and Gino for a wonderful evening.

Wow !! what a beautiful ride. The captain and crew were so accommodating, kind, and helpful. They really went out of their way to make it the best evening it could be. Thank you! Highly recommend, and hope to be back!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Captain Martin this year and highly recommend sailing and/or boating with this company! All of the staff and crew were wonderful and I plan on returning as a passenger for years to come. Sailing in the harbor is a must for all NYC residents and visitors!

What a beautiful way to celebrate! The crew was fabulous and exceeded our expectations. I loved everything about it, and the food was good. Dancing, drinking, and partying with the city lights created a new appreciation for the city.

An Insider’s Guide to Yacht Party Rentals

Yacht party rentals are fun territory to charter. Whether you’re looking to plan an epic corporate yacht party , host a birthday party on a yacht , rent a boat for a wedding , or throw a retirement party on a yacht , yachts are unique and exciting event venues. 

With more than 43 years in the yacht party business, our experienced team of event professionals is ready to walk you through the process every step of the way.

Party planning has never been so easy – especially with our insider tips and an expert team to help ensure yacht party success. 

Set your budget (and stick to it)

Whether a grand soiree or an intimate celebration, your budget is at the core of your master plan. Establishing a budget early on will help you decide what you want to prioritize – and that will help guide your decision-making. Need help planning? Contact our team . 

Budgeting is not a sexy topic, but evaluating what matters most to you can be fun. Are you more focused on food? Music? Decor? An exclusive guest experience?

Budgeting helps you stay on track. For example, when tempted to splurge for a ten-piece band or a five-tiered cake, you can always reference your budget and see if that’s in the cards. If it falls outside your allocated costs, there’s your answer (and scapegoat!). 

Evaluate entertainment

One of the best parts of hosting an event is delighting your guests. Thanks to Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok and a plethora of event publications, the possibilities to entertain your guests are endless.

–  A DJ or band will keep your guests moving. – A magician or comedian will offer laughter. – Signature tastings create an exclusive experience – Games like cornhole and life-size Jenga keep the mood light and fun.  – Photo booths with props act as social stations. 

Whatever you decide, consider the demographic of your guests and the vibe you want to evoke. You’ll want to be sure it hits all the right notes. 

Theme, decor, and rentals

Consider whether you want a theme for your event. It’s not necessary but can be a fun attribute. And when it comes to choosing a theme , there are so many to choose from!

If not opting for a theme, decide on the tone of your event. Formal? Casual? Cocktail? Your dress code will set the tone and help temper your guests’ expectations. Theme or no theme, you’ll need to decide on event decor (e.g., centerpieces, balloons, floral arrangements, color scheme) and determine what rentals you might need to fill your needs. Consider this a reminder that your yacht rental might not come equipped with furniture, linens, dinnerware, and other necessities.

The 10 best boat rentals in NYC

Debating between a two-hour hire or a full-day trip along the Hudson? Choose a boat to start your adventures around NYC

Courtesy: Sailo

Finding a boat rental may not be the first thing on your mind when planning your next trip to NYC. However, some would argue (us included) that one of the best ways to see the city at its best is on the water. From two-hour bareboat hires (yes, you’ll be the skipper) or a boat tour to full-day events fit for up to 600 people on a super yacht, there is a wide choice of boat rental options in New York City for you to choose from And we’re here to walk you through them and help you find the right one for you—and your socials, of course. Let’s get into it. 

Before sailing into our list of the best boat rentals in NYC, we’ve got to keep you in the know-how for renting boats. It may sound super simple, but there are certainly a few things you should know before booking your dream yacht. Thanks to us (no shame), we’ve put in the research so you don't have to. Take a look and get ready for one of the best things to do in NYC .

RECOMMENDED:   The best tours and walks in NYC

How much does it cost to rent a boat in NYC?

Renting a boat in NYC can be a surprisingly cheap thing to do, especially when split between your pals or family members. Most of the offerings are centered around quarter- and half-day rentals, while the mega-party yachts occasionally deliver a full-day experience. Prices for quarter-day boat rentals begin around $500, while larger boats and half-day rentals can get into the lower thousands. With that in mind, we’d suggest finalizing your guestlist and budget before putting down a deposit. It's smarter in the long run, promise.

How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in NYC?

Chartering a private yacht in NYC varies from other parts of the country where you’ll often hear of $100,000 charters as standard procedure. Thankfully, in New York City, things are a little different. Full-day charters can range from $5,000 to $60,000 – although the higher price points typically cater to large groups of 300 guests plus. it's best to decide beforehand what kind of party you’re throwing and how many guests you’d like to accommodate to ensure you get the best deal.

What do you need to rent a boat in NYC?

To rent a boat in NYC, you’ll need to be over 18 years old, hold a valid driver’s license, and have a credit card (in most cases). In some circumstances, you’ll also need a Boating Safety Certificate, but it’s best to check in with your boat rental company in advance to find out exactly what they need from you. Alternatively, you won’t need any sailing qualifications if you charter a private yacht as the captain will be in charge – just have the cash ready.

Does a crew come with a boat rental in NYC?

No, a crew doesn’t come with a boat rental in NYC. If a boat is offered bareboat, this means that you’ll be the skipper for the duration of the trip and there will be no captain onboard. However, if you charter a private yacht, more often than not, there will be a crew onboard to heighten your experience. You will need to verify this in your package offering.

What's the difference between NYC rentals and charters?

Most boat rentals in NYC are typically quarter-day or half-day trips centered around the Hudson River and offer up a unique perspective of New York City. There’s also a large variety of boats available, ranging from speedy motorboats to soaring sailboats. A few boat rentals in NYC offer the bareboat option, while the majority will have a captain available to sail you around the Big Apple's coastline so you sit back, relax on charter and enjoy that glass of bubbly in peace.

Best NYC boat rentals

1.  the azimut express cruiser.

This 70ft luxury Italian yacht is one of the most incredible (and well-priced) super yachts in New York that we've ever seen. Catering to 12 guests with three bedrooms and three bathrooms a piece, this Azimut Express Cruiser is a brilliant yacht to charter for a group of friends or a large family looking for a memorable experience.  Sail away, friends.

2.  The Catalina Standard

There's nothing quite like hiring a private sailboat from Brooklyn Bridge Park and gliding across the Hudson River. Pack your own picnic beforehand and spend an afternoon soaking up the NYC sun while your captain takes you for a spin on this gorgeous Catalina. Yes, this one comes with a captain included.

3.  The Sea Ray 270

This luxury woman-owned motorboat in New York City is designed with a group of friends in mind. With plenty of seating for up to 12 guests, an onboard bathroom, a fantastic sound system, and coolers for all your spritzers, this is the ideal boat for a day out with the pals. What’s that? Oh nothing, we just see a bachelorette party on the horizon.

4.  The United States Coast Guard Yard Lightship

If you’re searching for iconic, you've just found it. This US Lightship comes from the '50s before she was decommissioned in 1985. A unique charter offering, she caters to over 100 guests and is one of the few full-day event options aboard a ship in NYC. And if not for anything else, she's pretty Instagrammable.

5.  The Atlantis Custom Super Yacht

Some might just say that Atlantis is the go-to New York party yacht. With a capacity for 300 guests and 147ft of event space, this private charter yacht will be the party that's talked about for decades afterward. Whether it's corporate dinners, birthday parties, or a full-blown wedding, Atlantis and her crew will cater to yours – and your event's – every need.

6.  The Cape Craft

This one-of-a-kind boat rental in NYC offers guests a private fishing charter experience. Bask in the ambiance of Long Island's coastline while Captain Arthur shows you how to perfect your tackle – pun not intended. Simply cast your line and see what comes of it. Ay-ay, captain.

7.  The Luxury Cruise

Hop aboard this 200ft European-style party boat originally from the naughty ‘90s. Catering for 300, this cruise provides guests with epic views of the Manhattan coastline (and skyline) through its revolutionary glass windows. Hear that? Yep, it’s popping-bottle time. Grab your bestie and get dancing.

8.  The Beneteau Sloop

Cruise through New York City's harbor on the stunning Beneteau Sloop sailboat, courtesy of the captain. There’s a large table onboard ideal for food and drinks served by the professional and friendly crew. Ideal, right? Just don't forget to wave to the Statue of Liberty as the USA flag billows in the wind beside her. 

9.  The Godfrey Sweetwater

This comfy pontoon is ideal fun for all the family. It's easy to drive (that's one for you, cap) and has a built-in GPS and Bluetooth radio. The finishes are super modern and with adjustable roofing, you’ll have prime viewing of New York City all around. Please note that you must be at least 25 years of age to hire this boat.

10.  The Party Cruise

Perhaps the largest NYC party yacht rental we’ve seen, this party cruise is a step back into the early 2000s – but with an interactive DJ from 2023, thank goodness. Or not? Either way, marvel at the breathtaking views of New York while you sip on something cold included in the food and drinks package. Don’t you just love a win-win? We certainly do.

The Best Private Yacht Charters for Small Groups

While much of the cruise industry halted operations in the last year , it didn't mean that all sailings stopped. For families or pandemic-era bubble groups who wanted a sunny getaway on the water, a trend emerged: renting out entire yachts , complete with crew, for a new kind of custom sailing.

Exploring destinations around the world on a private yacht with your kids, and maybe another family or two, is both a luxurious and practical way to travel these days. The sea turns into your personal playground, and your captain will steer you to islets and beaches away from the crowds. On board, you can spend time together in a pleasant, contained environment—plus, no one has to cook. Bring on the movies and board games!

Here are our favorite family-friendly yachts available for private charter around the world.

Weather in Tampa Bay

Always keep in mind the weather when planning your yacht rental experience. Tampa Bay is an ideal location for a yacht charter, either while on vacation or “staycation” because of the wonderful weather patterns. With winters ranging in the 70°s and summers in the 90's, there's no wrong time to visit. While it may rain frequently in Tampa Bay, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, often times only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to Tampa Bay in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your boating trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in Tampa Bay, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be canceled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.
