Private yacht charters for 30 to 500 guests · Starting from $125/person

What you’ll do:

You and your group charter a private yacht for 3 hours on the East River with a live DJ and your pick of entertainment: belly dance, Latin dance, a Brazilian music set, stand-up comedy, adult magic, a trivia game, or a casino night with custom chips. Charters start at 30 guests, and larger yachts hold 50 to 100, 120, 300, 380, or 500 guests, so the boat is sized to your group. The Manhattan skyline is right outside.

• Brazilian music: Live musicians play bossa nova, forró, and Brazilian pop in a one-hour set that brings serious energy to the dance floor.

• Latin dance lesson and performance: A professional instructor leads a 30-minute interactive salsa, bachata, or cha-cha lesson, and then Latin dancers take over with a full performance.

• Belly dance lesson and performance: A professional dancer teaches the basics of Egyptian or Lebanese belly dance in a 30-minute group lesson, followed by a solo performance.

A DJ spins top 40, R&B, and Latin music throughout the entire charter, and there’s open time on the outer deck for photos against the Manhattan skyline.

Why we love it:

• Fully private yacht: Your group has the entire vessel, so the energy, the music, and the crowd are entirely yours.

• A yacht for every group size: Charters run from 30 guests up to 500, so a birthday dinner and a company-wide party each get the right-sized boat.

• Everyone gets on the floor: The lessons give guests who don’t usually dance an easy way in, and the performances that follow give everyone a show to watch.

• Flexible for any occasion: Birthday parties, bachelorette and bachelor parties, corporate team building, fundraisers, and holiday events all work on this format.

• Food and bar packages: Choose appetizers or a full lunch or dinner, and pick a bar option from a cash bar up to an open bar package.
