Big Apple Charters

Big Apple Charters is New York City's leading private luxury yacht charter, woman-owned and founder-led by Amal Salameh, departing from Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River. Our small, hand-selected fleet — the Hudson Star, Manhattan Mermaid, and the new Skyline — hosts private birthdays, proposals, bachelorette parties, corporate events, sunset cruises, and harbor tours for 2 to 30 guests, with the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop. Every charter runs under a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain, BYOB is welcome, and catering, florals, and photography are available. No shared boats, no strangers aboard — just a private, professionally crewed experience from Chelsea Piers. Begin planning your evening on the water with us.
