Whole Boat, Not Per Person
This is the part that surprises people. Big NYC party-boat operators price per head – $100-plus a person, and you are sharing the deck with strangers. Our rates are for the entire yacht: bring 4 guests or 12, the price is the same. For a group, that is usually far less per person, and the boat is yours alone.
What Is Included
Every rate covers the full private yacht for your booked hours: bathroom, AC, refrigerator and cooler, Bluetooth stereo, freshwater and deck shower, swim ladder and grill, on a Seakeeper-stabilized 47-foot Meridian. Bring your own snacks and drinks – that is welcome and keeps your cost down.
What Is Billed Separately
Captain, licensed crew and fuel are settled at the dock, based on your trip and route. There is nothing hidden – we give you the exact figure for your date before you book, so the number you see is the number you plan around.
Why Departing Brooklyn Costs You Less
We leave from Brooklyn (Bath Beach), minutes from Coney Island and the open harbor. Manhattan departures burn paid time idling out to the sights – a shorter transit means more of your hours actually on the water, so you get more cruise for the same rate.
