The experience of a yacht charter begins with one word: exclusivity. Pair 5-star service with a beautiful, blank canvas to plan an event that you, and your guests, will always remember. The skyline of New York City’s midtown and lower Manhattan and the ever-mesmerizing Statue of Liberty at dusk from the Manhattan harbor is simply icing on the cake.
For over 35 years, our fleet and crew have mastered the detail, attention, and service that it takes to create more than just a one-time amazing experience but an unforgettable lifelong memory. The Duchess is a versatile event space that can be chartered and styled to your liking — we’re here to help!
