Next Level Client Entertainment and Team Outings
As companies get ready to bring employees back in-person, the pressure is on to make the experience a memorable one for their clients. The eyes are often on budget, too, so why not rent a private yacht charter instead of spending $4-$5K on a sports box this year?
You can compare the price of the box or other corporate event venues you’re shopping for to the pricing of the luxury boat tours below. We’ll likely come out on top in terms of price and a fantastic experience your client is sure to remember.
Our Charter Sights & Stops
We’ve put together a list of some of the fun you’ll typically see when you charter one of our amazing 4, 6 and 8-Hour Trips:
4-Hour Charter Stops & Sights
Our typical 4-hour charter includes the following sights and stops:
Leaving from Manhasset Bay, we steam past the fleet of Great Gatsby mansions on Kings Point. Then, we will head into the Long Island Sound where you can see across to New Rochelle, NY, while passing Hart Island.
While visiting neighboring City Island (a part of the Bronx), there are a handful of restaurants that we can pull up to, including the ever-popular City Island Lobster House. As we head west in the LIS you can see scenic views of Queens in the distance.
Passing under Throgs Neck Bridge, you can see one the SUNY Maritime College at Throgs Point. Shortly after passing under the Whitestone Bridge, we approach Flushing Bay which is home to the famous Mets Stadium at Citi Field. This is an excellent spot next to LaGuardia Airport where you can watch the planes landing & taking off, while watching the sunset over the horizon.
Rikers Island and it’s overflow prisoner barge comes right before getting to Big & Little Brother Island, and this begins the transition into the East River where we run alongside Randall’s Island and pass under Hells Gate & Robert F. Kennedy bridges. At this point, the Manhattan skyline opens up here in Hell’s Gate, leaving us at the north end of Roosevelt Island.
Typically, we’ll cruise south on the west side of the East River running between Roosevelt & Manhattan at this point and pass underneath the famous Roosevelt Island Gondola & 59th Street Bridge.
From the south end of Roosevelt, you can see the Chrysler, United Nations, & Empire State buildings. Moving east, you can see the Pepsi Cola sign in Long Island City, Queens then we’ll head back up the east side of the East River.

6-Hour Charter Stops & Sights
The 6-Hour Trip is a continuation from the 4-hr Trip, and we continue moving south down the East River passing along the FDR and occasionally catching the seaplanes taking off and landing from 23rd Street Seaport Station.
From here, we can see the Williamsburg Bridge, come around the bend, and gaze at another great view of Lower Manhattan, which opens up to a more prominent view of the World Trade Center and Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges.

8-Hour Charter Stops & Sights
The 8-hour trip completes all five boroughs, and it sees us continuing where the 6-hour trip left off. We continue to move further south into the lower part of the harbor, where we pass under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges and pass by Brooklyn Bridge Park. Here, we’ll see the brand new Pier 17 Outdoor Theater and pass by Governor Island.
Afterward, we can head out to the Statue of Liberty where we can see Liberty State Park, Jersey City, Hoboken and Ellis Island with a glimpse of Staten Island in the background.
