FAQs about Top Small Boats in New York City, NY
NYC’s small boat rentals can start from as low as $89 per hour, however, depending on the services and amenities you start adding on, the price is more likely to range between $100 - $400 per hour. For longer cruises such as boat parties, lunches, and private dinners it’s best to look for package deals/per-person packages. Always check the duration of the session before your booking, on the Tagvenue listing you can find it in the pricing section. (All data from Tagvenue.)
In The Big Apple, look for top-notch small boats for rent in:
- Downtown Manhattan: This is your first go-to place when looking for a small boat rental. From the Manhattan docks, you can book a cruise with views of the iconic NYC skyline.
- Chelsea: Right next to the Chelsea Pier sports center, there’s a bay with a few boat rental services you can check out. They have a fine selection of small and larger boats with multiple cruise routes to choose from!
- Hudson Yards: Right next to the Hell’s Kitchen, you’ll find another great spot with multiple boat rental options. Additionally, you can check out the stunning Hudson River Park that’s right above the Lincoln Tunnel.
Most boats come with an alcohol license, allowing you to enjoy your favorite beverages while taking in the city's stunning views. For those who prefer their own menu, you can expect smaller boats to offer the BYO drinks and food options.
Standard amenities almost always include a PA system or even a DJ stand where you can play your own music. Additionally, many small boats offer dedicated dining spaces, perfect for lunches, brunches, or mixers on your boat party.
For a more luxurious experience, look for small boats featuring a sunbathing pad, perfect for lounging and soaking up the rays.
