Are you looking for a memorable experience to celebrate a milestone birthday?  Allen Batista Travel, Inc. offers a private boat tour in New York City to take in spectacular views of New York City from the East River.

A Private Boat Ride In NYC Has Its Allure
The experience of sailing in the waters of New York City has a certain charm to it. From the perspective of a boat on the East River, the beautiful scenery with its gleaming skyscrapers and architectural wonders. The ambiance changes as the sun begins to set and the city lights start to glimmer across the water.

A private boat ride offers a front-row view of the unmatched splendor that is New York, with the Statue of Liberty towering high, the Brooklyn Bridge across the river, and the city's prominent attractions dotting the shoreline.

Milestone Birthday Themes
'20s Glamor    
With a Gatsby-themed event, travel back in time to the lavish 1920s. Invite your guests to dress to the nines in their most elegant flapper dresses and sharpest suits. Decorate the yacht in opulent Art Deco style with striking geometric designs and plush materials. Martinis and champagne can be freely poured while a live jazz band plays the ideal background music for the evening.
 
Tropical Heaven
With a luau-themed party, you may escape to a tropical oasis right in the middle of the city. Don Hawaiian shirts, flower leis, and straw hats to inspire visitors to embrace the island vibe. Decorate the boat's deck with vibrant plastic tiki torches, bamboo accents, and lush palm fronds to create a beachy paradise. Offer a wide selection of fruity beverages and a delectable buffet of tropical treats.
 
A Black And White Ball
A black and white ball theme can help you embrace classic sophistication. Invite visitors to wear their most stylish black and white apparel to contrast beautifully with the vivid cityscape. Decorate the boat in traditional black and white with candelabras, crystal chandeliers, and damask tablecloths.
 
A Game of Chance – Casino Royale
Use a Casino Royale motif to add a game of chance to your milestone birthday. Decorate the private boat with poker tournaments, roulette wheels, and card tables. Encourage attendees to dress in chic formalwear.
 
Stand UP Comedy Boat Ride
A stand up comedy boat ride is a great way to tickle the funny bone of guests on board the boat.  We have a talented diverse team of rising stand up comedians and they have performed at New York Comedy Festival, Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, and all the major comedy clubs in the U.S.
 
Latin Boat Ride
A Latin boat ride – bachata, cha cha and salsa - is another way to create memories of a lifetime.  We work with professional dancers to help guests fine tune his or her dance technique on the floor.  Then, we will dazzle guests with a dazzling performance to one song. Our DJ will keep guests dancing all throughout the cruise to salsa, bachata, cha cha merengue, Latin house and reggaeton.        
 
Magic Show Boat Ride
Master magician spins the ultimate web of deception for the young at heart during a magic show boat ride. The magician skillfully weaves guests into the show featuring an endless array of sleight of hand tricks.  For the parents in the boat, the master magician has endless mentalism tricks on board the boat.
 
Organizing Every Aspect
As you begin the process of organizing your milestone birthday party, please keep in mind the painstaking attention to detail to make your event stand out. Here are a few more ideas to make sure your event is a smashing success:
 
Save-The-Dates And Invitations
Create save-the-date or invitation cards that go with your selected theme. The invitation sets the tone for what visitors might anticipate, whether it is a vintage-style Gatsby invitation or a message in a bottle with a tropical theme.
 
Drinks And Catering
Create a menu that goes well with the theme you've chosen. We work with clients on catering the event.  The private boat has a wide selection of alcoholic and mixed drinks for guests drinking pleasure.
 
Ambiance And Lighting
The private boat can become a fantasy that fits your chosen theme with the correct décor and lighting. Every component contributes to the environment, from tasteful centerpieces to mood-enhancing lighting.
 
Event Schedule
Make sure there is a smooth transition from one activity to the next by creating a well-organized timeline for the event. Plan accordingly to make the most of your time on the water because a private boat excursion may have time restrictions.
 
Getting The Shots
A special birthday celebration on a private boat is an experience of a lifetime that should be documented in all its splendor. Engage a qualified photographer or videographer to capture the event from beginning to end. Think about setting up a photo booth with coordinating props for your selected theme.
 
Acknowledging Gratitude
Thank your guests for joining you on this special occasion as the celebration comes to a close. Sending customized thank-you letters that capture the event's theme and spirit is a good idea. This tiny act will leave a lasting impression on your guests and cement the memories you've shared.
