The NYC
Yacht Party
A real yacht, not a party bus on the water. Indoor and outdoor decks, a full sound system, and the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop.
An NYC yacht party is a different animal from a standard booze cruise. Our vessel is a multi-deck yacht built for nightlife β climate-controlled indoor lounges downstairs, an open-air deck up top, and enough room to move between a packed dance floor and quieter rail-side skyline views without ever leaving the boat.
Life Aboard the Yacht
The lower deck houses the main bar and dance floor, where our resident DJs run a set built around hip-hop, reggaeton, house, and R&B depending on the night. Head up to the open deck and you get a completely different vibe β string lighting, skyline photo spots, and 360Β° views of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty as we cruise the East River and Hudson.
Built for Groups That Want to Be Seen
The yacht's layout is exactly why it's become NYC's go-to for birthday parties, bachelorette crews, and VIP tables with bottle service β there's enough deck space to reserve a section without feeling cut off from the party. Larger groups can also inquire about a full or partial yacht buyout for private events, corporate outings, or milestone celebrations.
Departure & Route
Every yacht party departs from Skyport Marina at 2430 FDR Drive on Manhattan's East Side, with sailings scheduled Friday, Saturday, and select Sunday nights. Boarding opens roughly 30β45 minutes before departure, and the cruise itself runs for a set window on the water β check your specific event listing for exact sail times.
