Top Tips For Your Yacht Party in NYC
- The Date and Booking the Yacht: It’s always best to choose the date for your event early and make sure the date coincides with the yacht’s availability. At Skyline Cruises, our versatile, three-level luxury motor yacht, the Skyline Princess, cruises New York Harbor all year round. Our expert party planners can work with you to set the date and plan the perfect celebration.
- Guest List: The number of guests is also a factor in choosing and booking a yacht. It’s a good idea to put your guest list together at the same time you’re picking the date and booking the yacht. The Skyline Princess can accommodate large and small parties, from weddings, engagement celebrations, showers, sweet sixteens, quinceañeras, bar/bat mitzvahs and birthday parties to corporate events, fundraisers, business mixers and holiday parties. Our all-weather vessel has three separate outdoor viewing areas, more than 4000 square feet of overall interior space, one bar on each of the three decks, and a large dance floor.
- Theme Selection: Themes add instant fun to your party. Depending on the type of party, you might want to consider choosing a theme for it, such as casino/poker, decade parties, Broadway, Old Hollywood, country western, Mexican Fiesta/Cinco de Mayo, nautical or tropical.
- Sending Invitations: Sending out your invitations early gives your guests plenty of time to R.S.V.P. It also allows you to field any questions they might have. If your party does have a theme, then you should incorporate it into your invitations.
- Entertainment, Food, and Drinks: These are three key ingredients for successful yacht parties. Music, dancing, and karaoke are all great ways to liven up your party, while great food and beverages can turn an ordinary party into an extraordinary one. The Skyline Princess offers energetic DJ entertainment, as well as exquisite cuisine freshly prepared on board by our highly acclaimed chef.
- Reminders: It’s a good idea to send out reminders at least 24 hours before you set sail to give your guests the chance to ask any final questions and arrange transportation.
- Enjoying the Party: Once you board the Skyline Princess with your guests, don’t forget to have fun! An NYC yacht charter cruise is an exciting venue for your celebration, and your event planner and our experienced staff will have all the details covered for your cruise!
