Skyline Testimonials
“Carol, a sincere thanks to you and the entire crew of Skyline Cruises. You really made my husband Nygil’s 50th Birthday a memorable one. All of my guests were very impressed and had a wonderful time aboard the yacht. Brunch was fantastic as well as the hospitality of the crew. Carol, you are a very wonderful person to work with. You made everything seem so easy that at one point, I wondered if my party was going to come off, but with your assurance, I trusted you and it worked out perfectly! I am looking forward to doing this again. Many thanks and God Blessings.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t chartering a yacht for my party more expensive than catering halls & restaurants?
The costs are not as different as you think; there are many different pricing options available to meet most budgets. Seasonally the prices can even be lower than land-based catering halls. It´s also about value. Isn´t planning an event that is unique and exciting for your guests and that will leave a lasting impression worth a little more?
What will happen if the weather is bad? Will my guests get seasick?
No need to worry, the Skyline Princess is designed to sail rain or shine. Our yacht is like being inside a floating catering hall and is designed to be unaffected by the weather. The Skyline Princess is a unique yacht that is designed specifically to be comfortable in all kinds of weather conditions and is fully climate-controlled for all year round parties and events. We sail in calm sheltered harbor waters, not the ocean, so seasickness is never a problem.
Is the food as good as a restaurant and other catering halls?
Our world-class food is some of the best in NY harbor. The food is prepared on board in our full galley (kitchen) the day of the event by our own Chef. Our cuisine is offered with high-quality premium liquors on every event.
I have a large party, are there boats big enough?
The Skyline Princess is 120-feet long and 31-feet wide with three full passenger levels, featuring an enclosable third deck, complete with skylights and a private bridal suite. The Skyline Princess is US Coast Guard certified for up to 450 passengers. This makes the Skyline Princess the perfect venue for larger parties. The Skyline Princess has the highest passenger capacity of any yacht in New York-based outside of Manhattan and is widely considered the New York Harbors most versatile dinner cruise charter yacht.
