There’s something undeniably romantic about celebrating your anniversary on the water. Away from the noise of the city, surrounded by Manhattan’s glittering skyline and the gentle rhythm of the harbor, your private sailboat becomes an intimate retreat—just the two of you, or shared with close friends and family who’ve been part of your journey together.

Our private anniversary boat charters in NYC offer a memorable alternative to traditional restaurant reservations. Whether you’re marking your first year together or celebrating decades of partnership, a sunset sail through New York Harbor creates the kind of moment that stays with you long after the day ends.

Why Choose a Private Boat for Your Anniversary

Embark on a romantic sailboat charter where every detail is tailored for your special moment. Whether proposing under the sunset or toasting your anniversary with champagne, we’ve got you covered. Add romantic rose bouquets and decorations, champagne, and catering. Our concierge service ensures your journey together is flawless.

Complete Privacy

Your charter is entirely private—no strangers, no crowds, just the people who matter most. The 40-foot Beneteau sailboat accommodates up to 6 guests comfortably, making it perfect for an intimate celebration with just your partner or including your closest friends or family members.

Stunning Backdrop

Sail past the Statue of Liberty, under the Brooklyn Bridge, and along the illuminated Manhattan skyline. The harbor provides ever-changing views that rival any restaurant window seat—and you’ll have them all to yourselves.

Flexible & Personalized

Unlike fixed dinner reservations, your charter can be tailored to your preferences. Choose a golden-hour sunset departure, an evening sail under city lights, or a daytime cruise through the harbor. Your captain will work with you to create the perfect route and timing.

Stress-Free Experience

Everything is handled for you. Your professional captain manages navigation and safety, while you simply relax and enjoy the experience. No driving, no parking hassles, no waiting for tables.
