Birthday Yacht Party in NYC

Cruise Details

Charter Duration and Schedule

Birthday charters run 2 or 4 hours, with the whole 47-foot yacht reserved for your group — up to 12 guests, never shared with strangers. Boarding is at our Brooklyn dock at 417 Bay 41st St; arrive about 15 minutes early with your full group so the hostess can walk everyone to the yacht together.

Evening slots are the most requested — golden hour gives the best light for photos, and the skyline lights up on the way back. Two hours suits a compact celebration; four gives you time to eat, swim off the stern in summer, and take the long way home under the bridges.

Tell us it’s a birthday when you book — we’ll help you time the route so the skyline sits behind the table when the cake comes out.

Cruise Highlights

If you’re comparing birthday venues in NYC, here’s the honest math: a private room in Manhattan charges per head and hands you a hard stop time. The yacht is one flat rate for up to 12 people, the view changes every ten minutes, and the only schedule is yours. You’re on open water minutes after leaving the Brooklyn dock — and skyline photos from the water beat any restaurant backdrop.

Why Choose It?

The boat comes ready for a party: refrigerator and cooler for your drinks, a grill on board, a Bluetooth stereo for your playlist, a bathroom, and an air-conditioned cabin for when the deck gets loud. Bring your own cake, food and drinks — cold platters work best, and the hostess can reheat small items in the microwave. The Seakeeper stabilizer keeps the deck steady, so glasses stay upright and nobody spends the night feeling the waves.

FAQ’s

• How much is a birthday charter?

  Private charters start at $1,250 for 2 hours — the whole 47-foot yacht for up to 12 guests, not a price per person. Four hours is $1,800, a full day $4,500.

• Can we bring a cake?

  Yes. Cake, cold platters and other light, easy-to-serve items are fine. What we cannot take is hot or greasy food, soups, anything prone to spilling, or full catered meals — and no sternos or open flames, which means no candles that need lighting.

• How many guests can we bring?

  Up to 12 guests, and the whole boat is yours — you are never sharing a deck with another group. The flybridge on the upper deck holds 6 at a time.

• Can we bring alcohol?

  Yes, within limits: one bottle of hard liquor per six guests. Beer, wine and hard seltzers do not count toward that limit — we just ask everyone to drink responsibly.

• Where do we board, and how early?

  Our dock is 417 Bay 41st St, Brooklyn — Bath Beach, minutes from the open harbour. Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure with your whole group. The person booking must be 21 or older, present with government-issued ID, and sign the charter agreement before boarding.
