New York City Private Charters
NYCbySEA allows you to experience the beauty of New York Harbor on your own terms through a private charter.
About Our Private Charters
We offer private charters for any occasion. From a romantic evening with a loved one, to a celebratory night out with friends, or a once-in-a-lifetime view of Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks, a private charter with NYCbySEA offers an unparalleled boating experience. A private charter is also a perfect opportunity for corporate client servicing.
We book private charters at an hourly rate, with prices starting at $350 an hour.
Concierge Service
For our private charter customers, we offer a concierge service through North Cove Marina. This allows charter guests to arrange delivery of food and beverages to the dock, ready at the boat for your departure. Mention this concierge service while booking your charter, so we can provide you with further instructions.

Engagements and Proposals Aboard NYCbySEA
We provide one of the best scenes for proposals and engagements in the city. Nothing is better than a “Yes” while cruising on the water with the New York cityscape in the background.
About the Boat
Our tour boat is a new, state-of-the-art Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. It’s loaded with high-end features to make your trip as relaxing and comfortable as possible. The boat weighs over 4 tons and measures over 28 feet in length. Although it has capacity for 10 people, each excursion is limited to only 6 passengers. It’s the perfect vessel to see New York Harbor, and truly offers Simple Sightseeing in Sophisticated Style!
