Birthday celebrations
A milestone birthday deserves a venue that moves. Yacht Events plans birthday celebrations from a private yacht for twelve close friends to a full party ship with DJ, dance floor and three bars, departing from Manhattan or New Jersey by day or by night.
What we handle
- Vessel matched to guest count
- Lunch, dinner or cocktail menus
- DJ, live music and entertainment
- Theme décor, cake and favors
- Photography coordination
Day or night
Afternoon cruises put guests on the sun deck with the skyline in view; evening sailings turn the dance floor and LED lighting on as the city lights come up. Either way the cruise route passes the Statue of Liberty and the bridges.

Food, bar and cake
Choose a lunch buffet, passed hors d'oeuvres for a cocktail reception or a seated dinner, with a stocked bar on board. The cake, favors and any theme décor are coordinated with you.

Right-sized vessels
Intimate groups fit a private motor yacht such as Pangea or Real Escape; larger parties take an event yacht like Cabana, Nautical Empress or The Grand Destiny.

The menu
Menus are written for each event by our culinary team; this published menu is the starting point.
“Steve sailed with us up and down the Hudson for four and a half hours attending to every detail. People still talk about the party like it was yesterday.”
Vice President, Sales, Split Rock Studios
“Steve listened well and made sure he understood all that was important to us and then delivered beyond our greatest expectations.”
Managing Director, HSBC Private Banking
