Manhattan by Water: Private Luxury Yacht Charter

Circle the entire island of Manhattan aboard a private luxury yacht — skyline, bridges, and the Statue of Liberty gliding past at water level. The most elegant and intimate way to experience New York's iconic silhouette.

What to expect

Your private crew casts off from a Lower Manhattan marina and immediately delivers skyline perspectives impossible from shore — the glass towers of Midtown, the Gothic arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the solitary grandeur of the Statue of Liberty all at water level. On deck, chilled Champagne or cocktails are served as a knowledgeable captain narrates the city's waterfront history. You circumnavigate at your own pace, pausing for photographs at every iconic vantage point. The contrast of Manhattan's vertical drama against the shimmering harbor is breathtaking.
