About this vendor
Having a yacht wedding ceremony/reception is unique and magical, especially in the NY Harbor! From 75 - 175 guests comfortably aboard our 120ft private dinner vessel, you and your guests will feel transported while cruising down the Hudson River, around Battery Park, underneath the bridges to the glowing Statue of Liberty.
Wedding ceremonies are held onboard usually on the upper deck, then cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We can do a nice seated buffet or sit-down dinner on the lower level. Our dining room features Swarovski crystal chandeliers that glitter as the sun is setting, which is just magnificent! Our trained chefs prepare delicious cuisine in our galley onboard the yacht. After dinner, there is more sightseeing and dancing ! Pickups in NYC or NJ!

Words can’t even describe how amazing everything was, the service was supreme, rob and Lezlee are amazing welcoming people who treat you like friends. Price is amazing is for nyc and it is an elegant remember able venue all of our guests had thee best time as did we. They let us create our own wedding while taking off so much stress and providing all the recommendations for amazing vendors to make planning a breeze. We can’t say enough good things about this place you’re a fool if you look anywhere but here.
On December 9, 2017 my husband and I tied the knot on the Royal Princess. We had checked out several venues before deciding on this beautiful yacht. It was clean and upscale. Captain Rob was warm and welcoming and any concerns I had about getting married on a yacht in the winter quickly vanished. We had several pre-planning conference calls to make certain we were all on the same page. They answered all of our questions and listened to our vision for this very important day. They helped to coordinate our other vendors. Not only did they meet our expectations I can honestly say they surpassed our expectations! Lezlee, Kathleen, Captain Rob and the wait staff were amazing! Everything went perfectly smoothly from the ceremony to the dancing and dining. The chef did a great job with food presentation and everything was delicious! DJ Dan scheduled several calls with us prior to the big day to give us an opportunity to share with him the variety of music we wanted played. He did an awesome job! The wait staff were very attentive and made sure everyone had what they needed. Our guests have told us over and over again how much fun they had and that it was one of the very best weddings they had ever attended! We have such great memories...and great pictures....from our wedding that it keeps us smiling! Thank you Lezlee, Captain Rob, Kathleen, DJ Dan, Chef David and all of the staff! Great job!
My wife and I were looking for something a little different than a just regular venue. We're both from New York and like most New Yorkers living a busy lifestyle we don't have the opportunity enjoy what New York City really has to offer. We decided that it would be a great idea to charter a boat which will cruise the NYC Harbor allowing us and our guest to enjoy the best sights in this world. Once we decided our search began. We went and viewed several boats , some were too big and some too small. The Royal Princess was perfect for what we needed but we were not sold just on the size. After seeing how some of the other boats were managed (businesslike) we decided to go with the family run style of Capt. Rob and Lezlee. We had the pleasure of meeting a groom right after his wedding when we met Capt. Rob for the first time. The groom was more than eager to show us pictures of his wedding and tell us how everything went so smooth. He did have one complaint. He stated that the night just went by too fast. I could live that!
We booked the Royal Princess in April for our late August wedding. So as you will assume we were pressed for time for all of the planning which had to be done. I can't tell you how often I called Capt. Rob. or Lezlee for their opinions or questions which I had. They made themselves more than available to me. We had different vendors making deliveries the day of the wedding. It was nerve wrecking not being there to supervise them. Capt. Rob was there early to receive them and make sure things were where they had to be. If he had any doubt, he would send a text to confirm with me. This was a bonus because neither one of us had the time to delegate the vendors and we did not have a wedding planner . Capt. Rob coordinated with the vendors to make sure everything was in it's proper place.
The day of the wedding arrived. Our guest were pleasantly greeted by the staff and quickly began the enjoy a beautiful day on the water which we were blessed with. We had a beautiful ceremony on the top deck. Our guest were able to have an intimate feel of the ceremony. Compliments were returned to us by the attention they received from the staff as well as the food they ate. I believe our guests only left crumbs haha. The party on the mid deck was insane. Our guest danced, drank, and laughed so much. Everyone was very comfortable and just having a great time. The end was drawing near and Capt. Rob. was benevolent enough to actually give us an extra half hour. I truly appreciated it as well as our guest. It was true what the groom who we met earlier had stated, it does go by too fast!
I can't thank you enough Capt. Rob and Lezlee for allowing us to have the perfect wedding. So many of our guest are still talking about it and due to social media many people who did not attend are also talking about it. It was a dream wedding come true.
Thank you Rob and Lezlee with all our hearts,
Tulio and Maribel

Our wedding last weekend was absolute magic. In fact that's the word so many people used to describe it. We just continue to hear raves — "the best wedding I’ve ever attended "(and they’d attended a lot), “enchanting”, “spectacular” — all superlatives! . Every detail, every effort, your graciousness, your unbelievable energy. I’m in awe. From the moment guests embarked, announced by DJ Dan, to the moment they debarked (after the fireworks), there was so much to take in and enjoy. You did such a beautiful job as officiant and then, putting on a different hat, as singer for our first dance. DJ Dan did a great job with the music -- changing throughout to suit the moment. He, Miles, and Kathleen all spent much time ahead to make sure they knew what we wanted. They captured our vision so well. Capt. Dan and Capt. Rob got us to the perfect place at the perfect time to enjoy the fireworks and navigated around a cruise ship to get us started on our way. Carol's tender support for a stressed bride was very appreciated. Kathleen's table settings and her flower arrangements were gorgeous. All the servers circulated and anticipated with smiles on their faces. And the food was delicious and so artistically presented. Thank you, Linda! I know there was so much behind the scenes to create such a seemingly seamless event. And, oh, that beautiful weather. Weren’t we lucky on that! The breeze on the top deck with the perfect temperature — looking at that glorious skyline, passing the Statue of Liberty, watching the fireworks. I will cherish so many images from this past weekend for the rest of my life. I couldn't have dreamed this wedding!

We were thrilled with the Royal Princess! Everything was fabulous, and we were so pleased with Rob & Lezlee. Highly recommend!
The reason we went with NY Boat Charter was pretty simple the yacht was beautiful, but more importantly Captain Rob (owner and captain) made us feel at home from the moment we boarded the ship to see it. This is a family run business and you immediately feel the love they have for what they do.
Before the wedding they went over every detail with us, and gave us recommendations for a florist that were amazing too! They are super accomodating to anything you want to do and need. There is no food tasting before the wedding which we were worried about, but were assured of the quality (and they lived up to what they promised).
Day of the wedding: it rained the day we got married :( , but we came up with a plan B inside that turned out to be, posssibly, more beautiful than outdoor plan A. The food was exquisite. Our guests are still talking about how good the foood was. The staff was sooooooo friendly, helpful and sweet!
Without a doubt this was one of the best ways to celebrate our day! We cruised under the bridges and because it was Columbus day weekend fireworks went off! If you are looking for something classy, different, delicious and fun this is the way to go!
