​Are you looking for a team building activity, quinceañera, sweet 16 or milestone birthday, anniversary or retirement celebration, bachelor or bachelorette or engagement party this fall?  Then, we hope you will consider one of our socially distanced party boat cruise up the East River in New York City.

It is no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has literally brought the travel industry to a halt during the last six months.  We have all had to embrace the new normal by becoming digital nomads working from home while helping loved with their virtual learning school instructions.

It’s a new normal during this COVID-19 pandemic and our customers’ health and well being are our number one priority.  We are brokering two socially distant five hour party boat cruise on board the Jacana and Cosmos this fall.  We are following NYC’s mandated guidelines to operate at a 75 percent capacity by limiting the cruise to no more than 40 people.

We hope you will come set sail up the East River and take in spectacular views from the water of Manhattan’s key attractions such as Statue of Liberty, South Street Seaport all from the comfort of a climate controlled, and U.S. coast guard certified party boat.

Upon arriving at the marina, all guests will have their temperatures checked prior to boarding the boat.  Face masks are MANDATORY for the cruise up the East river.   There will be ample hand sanitizers on board the party boat.

Our party boat package includes the private charter rental, lunch or dinner, open bar for cocktails, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and dj spinning your choice of top 40, R&B, hip hop, Latin music.  NO dancing will be allowed on board the boat per NYC’s mandate to minimize the spread of the COVID-19.

In keeping with NYC’s guidelines, we are only serving lunch and dinner, cocktails, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages during the first hour while boat is docked at the marina.  The party boat will set sail for up the East River once the meal, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages has been consumed on board and all guests puts on the MANDATORY face masks.

In case you are wondering about the party boats, then we hope to paint a picture in words and inspire your decision to book this private socially distant party boat package.

Jacana is a smaller vessel with two decks – indoor and upper deck connected by a spiral staircase.  The modern décor and its intimate size makes this party boat an ideal choice for wedding, bachelor or bachelorette party or milestone birthday.

Cosmos is a spacious climate controlled party boat with two decks – indoor and an open air outdoor deck.  Both party boats have tables, chairs and white tablecloth linen, audio and visual system, service bar and central air conditioning, as well as heating all throughout the indoor deck.
