Big Apple Charters

Big Apple Charters offers private yacht and boat charters from Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, creating memorable experiences on New York Harbor for corporate groups, private celebrations and special occasions.

Event organisers can choose from a selection of professionally crewed vessels for intimate groups and larger gatherings. The fleet includes smaller yachts for private proposals, sunset cruises, birthdays and family occasions, as well as a spacious event yacht for groups of up to 30 guests. Each charter provides a distinctive setting for entertaining clients, rewarding teams, hosting executive outings, celebrating milestones or bringing guests together away from conventional venues.

The company works with organisers to shape the experience around the guest list, occasion, timing and preferred itinerary. Routes can showcase landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, with daytime, sunset and evening departures available. The team can also coordinate catering, drinks, flowers, branded details, photography and selected audiovisual requirements, helping organisers create a polished event without managing every supplier separately.

For corporate bookings, the larger vessel offers presentation-friendly facilities, onboard connectivity and a comfortable environment for meetings, retreats, client entertainment and team celebrations. Smaller yachts provide a more personal atmosphere for proposals, milestone gatherings and relaxed private cruises.

With a hospitality-led approach, licensed captains and attentive crew, Big Apple Charters manages the experience from initial enquiry through boarding and the voyage itself. Organisers looking for an exclusive event venue with moving views, flexible formats and a distinctly New York setting can tailor a private charter to suit their occasion.
