Private dinner cruises

Dinner on the water is the signature Yacht Events experience: a vessel reserved for your party, a menu prepared on board and a cruise timed to the sunset and the lights of Lower Manhattan.

What we handle

  • Vessel reserved exclusively for your party
  • Chef-prepared tasting, plated or buffet menus
  • Dedicated wait staff and bar
  • Music and lighting
  • Pier logistics in Manhattan or New Jersey

Private dining, not restaurant service

The culinary team's singular emphasis is private dining. Free of a restaurant's daily service, the executive chef and his team focus on one menu for one party, prepared fresh on board, with a farm-to-table approach rooted in Hudson Valley cuisine.

From twelve to several hundred

A private yacht such as Justine or Moondance seats an intimate dinner; Mariner III and Lexington host a formal dinner for up to 85 and 120; glass-enclosed Bateaux was designed so that every table has a view.

Make it an occasion

Add live music, a pianist on the baby grand, specialty lighting or florals. The cruise typically covers the Hudson, the harbor and the Statue of Liberty.
