A different New York event venue
A wedding venue surrounded by New York.
A yacht creates an event flow that feels different from a traditional venue: guests board together, the skyline changes throughout the cruise and indoor and outdoor areas can create different moments during the celebration.
When comparing wedding yachts, look beyond capacity. Consider ceremony space, seating style, dancing, weather backup, photography areas, catering, entertainment and how guests will board and depart.

Questions before you reserve
Wedding Yacht Charters NYC FAQ
Can you get married on a yacht in New York City?
Private yachts can be used for wedding ceremonies and receptions, subject to the policies and capabilities of the specific vessel. Couples should confirm ceremony layout, capacity and event requirements before booking.
Can we have both the ceremony and reception on the yacht?
Some yachts can accommodate multiple parts of the wedding event, but layout and timing vary. The best vessel depends on guest count and how you want to transition between the ceremony, dining and dancing.
What happens if the weather changes?
Weather procedures depend on the vessel and operator. When evaluating a wedding yacht, ask specifically about indoor space, covered areas and operational policies for changing harbor conditions.
What if I am not looking for a private yacht rental?
If you are looking for individual sightseeing cruise tickets rather than renting an entire yacht, visit NYC Skyline Cruises to view public New York sightseeing cruises and purchase tickets.
