The #1 private Yacht Rental company in New York
Big Apple Charters is New York City's leading private luxury yacht charter - woman-owned, concierge-trusted, and founded on the resolute belief that boating in New York should feel inspiring.
We host proposals, celebrations, corporate events, and quiet escapes on New York Harbor. Every detail is handled. Every guest is hosted.
New York, Done Effortlessly
Lady Liberty. The Brooklyn Bridge. The dazzling skyline at night. These are not backdrops — they are the experience. Our yachts deliver you to New York's most iconic views, from the only vantage point that truly captures them: the water.
Our Philosophy
On the Water
We are not a yacht rental company. We are a hospitality brand that delivers Nautical New York experiences. From first inquiry to final farewell, every guest is hosted - not processed. Service is delivered naturally, never fake. Luxury is defined by ease, not excess.

Our Story
Founded on Expertise
Big Apple Charters was founded by Amal Salameh to share her love of New York's nautical magic with residents and visitors alike. What began with one boat grew into the city's leading private luxury yacht charter - by choosing integrity over shortcuts and hospitality over volume.
We are proudly woman-owned, headquartered at Chelsea Piers, and committed to raising the standard of the NYC charter industry.
Every vessel is impeccably maintained, USCG-licensed, and fully insured. Every charter is personal. Every guest a star. Every experience a memory.
