Recent reviews in new york.

Lisa gave us the best birthday party ever! This boat was super fun, elegant, and inexpensive for my friend's birthday celebration. We saw all of the landmarks on the east river while playing our favorite music. I cannot thank Lisa enough for allowing us to have such a special evening. Everything was streamlined from booking until the event. She answered all my questions timely and made sure everything was on schedule. The captain she arranged was also hilarious and accommodating! Thank you, Lisa! We will be sure to book again.

Lisa is incredibly communicative and made sure our we had a smooth experience and know what to expect! The boat was clean, roomy, and exceeded our expectations. She is accommodating, friendly, and warm. It was a great value for the price, my friends and I had so much fun with this unique experience! I would definitely book with Lisa again

My friends and I had such a great trip on the Liberty Pearl for my bachelorette! We did a 2 hour cruise and got to see all the sights including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the beautiful NYC skyline. Our captain was so nice and professional. We had 11 people in our group and there was plenty of room on the boat for a group of our size. It was such a perfect day - I highly recommend booking with Lisa!

Wow! What a magical way to celebrate my birthday!! From the moment I inquired about booking with Captain Andy, he greeted me with such warmth and enthusiasm. On the day of, he was so welcoming towards my family and I, handling us with such patience and care, ensuring our safety and comfort. And, let’s not forget the level of skill he harnessed as we sailed the Hudson! We took on a few waves; there was a particularly big one that quickly became the highlight of our trip. Some members of my family have had bad experiences in water, but I was delighted to share and witness their excitement around facing it. Trusting in Captain Andy’s years of sailing experience we were all free to embrace a little splash. My little sister’s reaction was especially precious, as it was her first time being aboard a boat. “More waves! More!” Haha! Thank You, Captain Andy for such a memorable sail experience. This definitely won’t be my last time booking. To those of you reading, what are you waiting for?! Book him!!

I had an exceptional experience chartering a boat with Big Apple. From the initial point of contact through the very end, Amal, Captain Ross and Tiffany were amazing -- super friendly, communicative, professional and accommodating! The boat was beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. What more could you ask for?! There’s truly no better way to see NYC than from the water, whether you’re a local or a tourist (local here). Provides a different perspective of the city and is so peaceful and relaxing. Look no further -- this is the company to choose. Highly recommend!

Skyline Cruises

• Birthday Party Cruises in NYC

NYC’s Floating Birthday Venue

Your birthday is a special day – a holiday that is all yours – and what better way to celebrate than to take your birthday party out on the water? Mark your personal milestone with an event your friends and family will always remember.

The New York City skyline has graced films and TV shows for decades… and now it can be part of your party. Over the course of your cruise, a variety of the city’s iconic and historic sites join the celebration and supply a rotating backdrop for your birthday photos. Including sights such as the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, and more.

Birthday Parties Large and Small

The Skyline Princess is one of the most versatile charter yachts in the NYC area – and we can host a truly stunning array of birthday festivities . Smaller, more intimate gatherings can book one or more tables during our private cruises (which have both day and nighttime options).

However, if you’re thinking bigger… then consider renting a full deck to give yourself the extra capacity and elbow room you need. Each deck has its own independent full-service bar, and if dancing is on the docket, our Skylight Deck has the largest dance floor area in local waters.

For truly large-scale festivities , inquire about our whole ship rentals and have the Skyline Princess all to yourselves. We are U.S. Coast Guard certified for a capacity of up to 450 passengers! You can even customize each of the three decks with a different theme or atmosphere within a single party.

Realizing Your Birthday Vision

Birthday parties are very personal things, and our event planners will work with you to create exactly the atmosphere you want. Considering a fairgrounds atmosphere? We can arrange for photo booths, Foosball tables, and the appropriate food and decor.

Black tie more your style? Dance the evening away under the stars on the Skylight Deck as the NYC skyline unreels behind and around you. And, of course, there is the food. Our expert chefs can create a custom menu for you, or you can bring in your own caterers if you have a preference.

Smooth Sailing

Our yacht is a floating banquet room designed for year-round cruising. It is fully climate-controlled for year-round outings and because it sails in the calm, sheltered waters of the famous New York Harbor or Long Island Sound, you’ll experience smooth sailing.  

Skyline’s attentive staff serves premium beer, wine and liquor at the cash bar. Want something special? Contact the event experts at Skyline Cruises to customize your experience.

For more information about Birthday Party cruises and yacht rentals, give us a call at (718) 446-1100 or contact us through the inquiry form . We look forward to cruising with you.
