Transform your next corporate gathering into an unforgettable experience on the water. Our corporate boat charters in NYC offer an exclusive setting for client entertainment, team building, and executive meetings that leave a lasting impression far beyond the conference room.
Why Choose Sailing for Corporate Events
Manhattan’s harbor provides a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate venues. Away from office distractions and city noise, your team or clients can connect in a relaxed and sporty environment. The gentle motion of sailing and panoramic skyline views creates the perfect backdrop for meaningful business relationships.
Our intimate 6-passenger capacity ensures quality interactions rather than crowded networking. Whether you’re closing a deal, celebrating a milestone, or strengthening team bonds, a private sailboat charter delivers exclusivity that reflects well on your company’s brand.
Perfect for Client Entertainment
First impressions matter. When you’re hosting important clients, prospects, or business partners, a sailing yacht demonstrates thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Instead of another generic dinner reservation, you’re offering them an experience they’ll remember and talk about.
We’ve hosted countless client entertainment events, from account executives impressing prospective clients to law firms celebrating case wins with partners. The two to four-hour charter provides ample time for relationship building while sailing past the Statue of Liberty, under the Brooklyn Bridge, or along the Manhattan skyline at sunset.
Our captain handles all navigation, allowing you to focus entirely on your guests. The yacht’s layout facilitates easy conversation—the outdoor cockpit with full shade offers al fresco seating, while the indoor cabin provides table seating for more formal discussions or escaping unexpected weather.
Ideal for Executive Team Building
Small executive teams benefit from the focused environment our sailboat provides. C-suite offsites, partner meetings, and leadership retreats gain new perspective away from the office. The shared experience of being on the water naturally encourages collaboration and open dialogue.
Many of our corporate clients use sailing charters for strategic discussions. There’s something about being on the water that shifts thinking from day-to-day operations to bigger-picture strategy. No email notifications, no drop-in interruptions—just your core team and dedicated time for what matters.
The intimate setting also works beautifully for onboarding key hires, celebrating promotions, or acknowledging outstanding performance. These moments deserve more than a lunch reservation.
What’s Included
Every corporate boat charter includes a dedicated captain, all fuel and docking fees, full insurance coverage, and complete use of the yacht’s amenities. The vessel features Bluetooth connectivity for your music or theirs, comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors, cabin space, a private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities.
Charters begin at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan with easy access via car service, taxi, or subway. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before departure for a brief safety orientation and boarding.
Catering and Beverage Options
Enhance your corporate boat charter with our curated catering menu. Options include gourmet brunch packages for morning meetings, Mediterranean lunch platters for afternoon events, and champagne with appetizer packages for evening celebrations. All catering is priced transparently and must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance.
We’re able to accommodate most dietary restrictions with advance notice, or you’re also welcome to bring your own food and beverages ($100 BYO fee).
Scheduling and Logistics
Corporate charters require a two-hour minimum and can extend to four hours depending on your needs. Most business entertainment events run 2-3 hours, providing enough time to sail to notable landmarks and back while allowing conversation to flow naturally.
Prime corporate booking windows include:
- Morning sessions (9am-12pm): Ideal for leadership breakfasts
- Afternoon slots (1pm-4pm): Perfect for client entertainment and team outings
- Evening charters (6pm-9pm): Best for sunset celebrations and after-work networking
Weekdays offer better availability than weekends, though Friday afternoons book quickly during summer months. We recommend reserving at least 2-3 weeks in advance for preferred dates and times.
Pricing and Booking
Corporate sailboat charters start at $700 for a two-hour minimum. Pricing scales with charter duration—three-hour bookings begin at $1,050, while four-hour events start at $1,400. Additional costs include optional catering packages, decoration services for milestone celebrations, and any specialized requests.
We offer two booking options: a non-refundable rate with complimentary weather-related rescheduling, or a Travel Protection plan providing more flexibility for cancellation and rescheduling. Corporate clients typically prefer Travel Protection for easier expense management when schedules shift unexpectedly.
Payment can be processed via credit card with automatic email receipts provided for expense reporting.
Weather Policy and Flexibility
Your captain makes the final weather determination two hours before scheduled departure. If it rains or conditions are unsafe, we’ll reschedule at no charge. Our captain monitors forecasts closely and will proactively reach out if your charter time looks questionable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can we bring?
Our USCG license permits six passengers maximum. This includes all team members and clients. Federal regulations will not permit exceptions.
Can we hold a formal presentation?
The indoor cabin accommodates small presentations with table seating for six, a flat screen TV with USB port, and a Bluetooth sound system.
What if someone gets seasick?
Seasickness is rare on our yacht due to the harbor’s calm waters. We stay within protected areas of New York Harbor, avoiding open ocean swells. If one of your attendees is prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking motion sickness medication prior to boarding.
