Are you looking for a special way to commemorate your favorite graduate’s big achievement? Instead of hosting a big graduation party, why not grab a few of your graduate’s closest family and friends and head out to sea? A graduation party on a boat is something no one will ever forget!
There are two boats available: a 16-passenger yacht and a 6-passenger boat with an open deck. Either way, you’ll be able to sit back and relax as the captain shows you all the highlights of New York City.
Have Your Graduation Party on a Boat in NYC
Whether you’re planning your own bash or someone else in your family is doing it, having a graduation boat party is definitely something different. With all the hustle and bustle of other parties, you’ve probably found yourself wishing for something a little more laid back. Our yacht cruises for graduation will allow you to throw a truly memorable party without having to do much of anything!
See everything from the deck of the boat. Our unique cruises will take you and your graduation party past the following New York City landmarks:
As you can see, our yacht promises a fantastic tour of the area. Don’t miss out!
NYHT Boat Options
As previously mentioned, we have two different luxurious boats available to take you and your friends on the water.
Your first option is ‘Reliance,’ which is a 16-passenger yacht that was built in 1971. Although the boat may be a bit old, the experience is anything but! In fact, Reliance was fitted with a new frame and deck, along with a new fuel tank, electrical system, plumbing system, roof, hardware, and rails. We spent more than a year working on this boat to turn it into the ideal yacht to sail past the Statue of Liberty.
If you’d like an even more intimate outing, we’ve got the 6-passenger ‘Tireless.’ The large, open boat deck has plenty of seats to accommodate your guest list. Don’t worry about the weather, either, because Tireless boasts comfortable seating inside its protected cabin. There is also a galley area to keep your snacks at the perfect temperature.
What’s Included in Your Graduation Yacht Cruise
You’ll receive somewhere between a 90-minute or three-hour cruise, depending on what you select during the booking process. Once you’re on board, you’re welcome to use our cooler to keep your beverages cold. If you’ll have guests who are 21 or older, you can bring all your favorite alcoholic beverages, too. We also have room to store snacks or even a nice meal to share with your entire party.
For your convenience, we include a table and seating, along with a bathroom. You can also use our small but very workable galley area to ensure that the graduation cake looks absolutely perfect!
Cruise Types to Choose From
We offer a wide variety of cruises, which means you can pick the ideal option to suit your needs. Our options include:
New York City Lights Tour: Make your graduation party even better by taking it at night. Seeing all of NYC’s highlights lit up is absolutely stunning and is a sight you shouldn’t miss.
The NYC Sunset Cruise: Nowhere else glows quite like New York City during the ‘Golden Hour.’ Treat your party guests to magnificent views of the best city on earth.
Fireworks Tour: Are you waiting until July to host your big bash? There are rewards for waiting, including the opportunity to take a Fireworks Tour of the city. Get some of the best seats in the city by booking this tour.
Daytime Downtown Loop: At only 90 minutes, this tour fits in everything you want to see, but it doesn’t stay on the water for too long. We’ll go up the Hudson and East Rivers and loop around Manhattan’s tip. This tour is ideal for those who don’t have a lot of time to spare and for introverted graduation party guests!
Manhattan Circumnavigation: This longer NYC harbor cruise takes approximately three hours to complete. This ride features all the landmarks listed above, plus it includes the Cloisters, Yankees Stadium, and every bridge of note.
Graduation Party Ideas
There are several different party ideas that can help you celebrate graduation. However, there’s only one New York Harbor Tours! Book the cruise of a lifetime to say goodbye to high school or college. Your guests will be thrilled to do something so different, and the cost is very much in line with a more traditional event.
Enjoy NYC from the water with New York Harbor Tour’s variety of ways to see the city. Whichever tour type you choose, you’re sure to please everyone on board. Book your cruise today!
