CHARTER INSIGHTS
Private yacht charters for team outings, client entertainment, and corporate celebrations in New York Harbor.
Corporate yacht events in NYC offer something no rooftop bar or hotel ballroom can match: the full Manhattan skyline, open water, and complete privacy for your group. Companies across New York City use private yacht charters to entertain top clients, reward high-performing teams, and host celebrations that people actually remember.
Big Apple Charters is NYC’s premier corporate boat charter company, offering private yacht rentals for groups of 2 to 30. We specialize in corporate team outings, client entertainment, sales celebrations, and executive events — all departing from Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.
To book a corporate yacht charter in NYC or get a custom quote, call or text us at 212-401-4031. We respond personally and promptly.
WHY IT WORKS
A corporate yacht charter in New York Harbor does what no conference room can: it removes your group from their everyday environment entirely. No back-to-back meetings, no distractions, no one slipping out early. Just your team or clients, on the water, with the full attention of the city’s most iconic skyline.
Corporate clients consistently tell us their yacht events produce better conversations, stronger relationships, and more memorable impressions than any hotel event or rooftop venue. For client entertainment in NYC, the yacht sets a standard most venues simply can’t reach.
We’ve hosted corporate team building yacht events, client appreciation charters, executive off-sites, sales team celebrations, new hire welcome events, and board retreats — all on the water, all out of Chelsea Piers.
Our corporate yacht fleet: Manhattan Mermaid (up to 12 guests), Hudson Star (up to 18 guests), and Skyline (up to 30 guests). All three are private, fully crewed, and equipped with Starlink WiFi.
PLANNING YOUR EVENT
Start with your guest count. For intimate corporate dinners or small team outings (up to 12), the Manhattan Mermaid is a great fit. The Hudson Star handles up to 18 and works well for mid-size corporate groups. The Skyline, our flagship vessel, accommodates up to 30 and is the top choice for large team events, sales celebrations, and corporate client entertainment in NYC.
All boats depart from Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, include Starlink satellite WiFi, and come with our full-service crew. We’ll help you match the right vessel to your headcount, event type, and budget.
Corporate yacht charters run year-round in New York Harbor. Summer and fall are peak seasons for client entertainment and team outings — book early. Morning departures work well for working sessions and strategy off-sites. Sunset charters (typically 5–8pm) are the most popular for client appreciation and company celebrations.
We coordinate full catering and bar service through vetted NYC partners. Available add-ons include branded signage, AV and screen setups for presentations, professional photography, floral arrangements, and custom welcome packages. Everything is arranged before you board.
