we held our 60th Anniversary cruise on Juliette in New York harbor. Our experience was terrific- Mike, the Captain and entire crew were excellent- treated us like we were owners! The Yacht Juliette was perfect for our group. The food was outstanding. In addition, some 8-10 hours before the cruise the hot humidity and storm centers left the area- leaving the Manhattan, the Hudson and East Rivers and Bay in clear air with temperature in the low 70's. The evening could not have been better!!! All of our family- 20 people had an excellent and fun evening with many memories and beautiful sites. Congratulations to you, Mark and the entire crew. Well done! read more

Three generations of family and friends joined my husband and me for a combined 80th and 90th birthday celebration aboard the Cloud Nine IV. From planning through working out details to execution, we could not have imagined a better experience. David and Mark worked as knowledgeable and caring partners and advisors from the first. They were always accessible and answered questions promptly. The crew and staff on the yacht were exceptional - safe, warm welcome for guests; professional, gracious, efficient service; great food; superb facility: clean, attractive, impressive. I give the yacht an unreserved recommendation. read more

My team used the Cloud Nine III boat yesterday for a corporate event. We had a wonderful time and the staff/crew on the boat were absolutely amazing. The access to the front and upper portions of the boat combined with the beautiful weather we had yesterday was truly perfection. Thank you to the crew for making this event so enjoyable for all! read more

I chose to charter the Cloud Nine III for a small surprise birthday party/sit down dinner for my mom. I researched carefully and decided to go with Prestige because so many of the positive reviews mentioned how great the food was since it is all prepared on board. The food and the crew absolutely lived up to the hype. Mark and David also made an excellent team. I was able to make all necessary decisions with just under a month to spare thanks to their efficient coordination. Given the current state of public health, I insisted that all of my guests be fully vaccinated and also test as close as possible to the day of the event. The one "loose end" that was making me nervous was whether or not the crew would be vaccinated or at least tested. I asked my guests to keep their masks handy just in case, but then found out once aboard that the entire crew not only had to be tested often, but were also fully vaccinated. That made me feel so much better, along with my guests. The food and presentation was fantastic, no delays of any kind. The crew was extremely professional and accommodating. The yacht was beautiful--clean, modern and well maintained. The one comment I've heard from all of my guests was that they felt as though they were in our home, having a nice intimate dinner, with a beautiful waterfront view thrown in. Extremely high praise! Great job, everyone. read more

We had a wonderful time! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. And we were happy that the Justine was even nicer than in the pictures.  Overall I would recommend Prestige and would use them again. read more

I used Prestige Yacht Charters to charter a boat for my husband's 35th birthday. The process was easy. David assisted me with all my needs. Communication with him was clear and fast. The boat itself, Juliette, was beautiful. The staff on board was AH-MAZING! Thank you for helping me make this day special for my family and friends, especially my husband. I highly recommend Prestige Yacht Charters and will be using them in the future. read more

David and Mark at Prestige were wonderful to deal with. Excellent communication through the whole booking process and very organized. My event turned out exactly as I hoped and my friends and family had a great time. We chartered the Cloud Nine III from Skyport Marina, and the boat and crew were top notch. Food was great, service was perfect, and the captain was a true professional. Can't say enough great things about Prestige and the Cloud Nine III crew. read more

I booked the Justine through this service for my family (12 of us were on board) for a 'just because'. The response time with David was great - he got us whatever information we needed quickly and was always available to answer any of our questions - which I truly appreciate because this was my first time booking a yacht. The Justine is a beautiful yacht and the crew were absolutely amazing - it was impeccably clean and it was very spacious. They observed COVID precautions with no complaints - which made my family feel even more safe being out on the water with them. 10 out of 10 would book again. Thank you guys again ! read more

Don't use them. They advertise a 4th of July Fireworks Cruise with a buffet that they state on their website is for 200 people. We get there and there are more than 240 people boarding (not even counting the crew) and we watched at least ten people get on and immediately off due to crowding on the boat. The crew then claims the max capacity is 300. It's is a scam and nothing more than a money making venture. Find someone else. read more

Chose Cloud Nine III for our company event and was very satisfied. Booking process was very easy and the crew was very accommodating. The boat is luxurious and a great time around the harbor. read more

We just celebrated our 20th anniversary onboard Majestic Princess. This was our first such event on a yacht and I can say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fantastic communication from David and Mark. Both of them were extremely helpful and fast in their responses, even while one of them was on a ski vacation during the planning period. The entire planning was done in less than a month and all the guests couldn't stop with their praise of the fantastic experience they had onboard the yacht. I can keep going on and on about the great experience, but in summary, if I had to do it again, I would contract them again without a second thought. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 was due to lack of enough appetizers for the guests. read more

Great boat service- perfect for intimate gatherings/parties. We used them for our 8 year wedding anniversary/bday celebration and all of our friends loved it. Friendly, helpful staff, delicious food and scenic route for all attendees whether they're local to NYC or not. Definitely recommend! read more

Just spent a glorious afternoon/evening aboard the Calypso for my birthday. When I was pondering a party on a boat, David worked with me to find the vessel and package that fit my needs, and they were incredibly accommodating about my request to provide my own Champagne (I'm a wine professional so am a little picky!) The staff and crew were fantastic, and I simply adored the Calypso. It's a classic, and is much larger than I thought vs. the pictures. Everyone simply raved about the event, and I will DEFINITELY book with them again. read more

Went on the majestic princess for the statue of liberty and Ellis island boat tour. It was as advertised, not guided and you stay in the boat the whole time, just a simple cruise around the island. The boat seemed very dirty and if you wanted to have any view of the water there wasn't anywhere to sit since no chairs are allowed on the deck. I would not recommend if you want any kind of guided educational tour. read more

A true end to end remarkable customer experience. From exploring what they have to offer, to making the right choice, embarking on the fun excursion, great food, great service and a fantastic crew. All doubts about COVID-19 related precautions were dispelled and heartening to see them being followed. Highly recommend working directly with David. All the best. read more

Had a triple birthday party on the Lexington over the weekend and it was absolutely amazing. It was my first time ever planning a party on a yacht so I was a bit nervous at first but it completely exceeded every expectation. The ship itself was a sight to behold. It had a very elegant and lavish interior as well as plenty of beautiful outdoor space. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. Nothing was undercooked! People went crazy over the appetizers that were being passed around butler style and then by the time dinner arrived they couldnt believe the type of spread these guys has put out. Everyone ate 2nds and even 3rds after claiming to be stuffed from the appetizers. The crew and staff were wonderful as well and extremely professional and elegant themselves. Best of all was David. He is the owner of the Lexington and was with us the whole time. He helped me book the event, prepare and organize it, and then was with us the whole cruise making sure everything was perfect. When do you see someone who doesn't even have to do all that actually do it! Thank you so much David and staff. All of the guests were amazed and wondered how in the world I could've thought of all this but all that credit goes to you guys. I cant wait to host another event with you guys! read more

Had an amazing time on the Cosmo celebrating my partners 30th birthday! The crew was so accommodating and the entire planning experience was super easy. Highly recommend! read more

My partner and I celebrated too early and went to a party on this yacht! He tested positive for Covid. He isn't doing too well! I don't recommend going to any outing and this charter company really did not make it better. I feel awful and the workers were rude! Never using this company again! read more

Had such a wonderful evening, beyond expectations! Thanks so much to David and Mark for helping make our triple birthday boat party great. The entire staff was super helpful and the boat is even bigger than the pictures show. Thanks again and we hope to be back soon! read more

We planned a last minute wedding aboard the Affinity. The management company and staff were very accommodating and did a great job making our day very special! Highly recommend this anyone looking for a beautiful evening with a NYC backdrop! read more

We had our wedding on the Lexington September 2. From start to finish it was a five-star experience. David is terrific to work with. He thinks of everything, so it takes away a lot of the traditional stress involved with planning a wedding. We had our ceremony on the upper deck as the sun set over the statue of liberty and the sky filled with a shock of orange, purple, yellow and blue. The guests kept talking about how excellent the dinner and desert were -- many declared it "BEST WEDDING EVER." And I have to agree! We couldn't have done it without David. read more

Oh man. WHAT a PARTY! I contacted Prestige Yacht charters for a corporate party event. We wanted to show our employees how much we appreciate them, and I worked with David to arrange everything. He helped us pick out the best vessel (and definitely take his word for it - he had us on an absolutely beautiful vessel), he assisted in finding the best menu (everything is prepared on board by their chef - and it was amazing), and the boat staff was incredible. So nice, fun, easy to work with, and very professional and polite. Prestige was willing to work with our budget and help us pull off an event that everyone is still talking about - and did it seamlessly. These guys are pros and I would highly recommend them for any private charter event. We sailed on the Lexington. read more

Prestige Yacht Charters assisted me in planning a corporate customer appreciation event aboard the Cloud 9 IV. Mark and David were absolutely amazing, as was the crew. The wait staff was also remarkably responsive. In all, their team provided excellent service and ensured that our event ran seamlessly. Our customers were blown away by the event. read more

Had an amazing birthday party with 58 guests on the Lexington on 9/28/18. David and his gang were just fantastic in every way. They made it easy, even though I was planning the event long-distance from California. Service was impeccable, food was delish, drinks were on-point, the DJ, photographer, and bakery he recommended were top-notch, and oh my goodness! The views from the river!! Amazing! First class operation all the way!! All the thumbs way up!! read more

Just sailed on the Lexington this last weekend and it is the second time on this yacht. David and staff go above and beyond to accommodate everyone on board. Any questions we had prior to sailing were answered right away, we were never left in the dark about anything. Staff is super nice and very friendly, David himself is on board and makes sure everything goes smoothly. Defiantly would recommend everyone to sail with Prestige!!! read more

Myself, my husband, and our friends had an absolute blast on our cruise aboard the Lexington to celebrate our wedding. All of our questions and concerns were addressed ahead of time during the walk-through and emails back and forth. So once we boarded, we felt completely relaxed and taken care of. The food, the drinks, the ambiance, the staff, and the service were wonderful. The boat is stunning and everyone was greatly impressed. The only challenge was having to leave after we docked! Absolutely recommend this company and especially the Lexington. read more

The Lexington: David, Captain John and the Lexington Crew - What an incredible evening and memorable event on September 10, 2016!!! We are sincerely grateful for the guidance, professional service, and attention to detail that made the planning, preparing, and actual event so special. A great time was had by all. Guests have expressed delight on all aspects - the venue, cruise experience, food, and hospitality. Staff was so accommodating, the eats were delicious and the sights magnificent from such a beautiful vessel. It was a wonderful wedding and we are so thankful it took place on the Hudson River aboard the Lexington! Would recommend the Lexington for its uniqueness and expertise! Kathy & Deb read more

I cannot praise Prestige Yacht Charters, Dave, Mark Vicki and the entire crew on board the Cloud 9 IV enough. We had a "decade changing" birthday party for my husband on board the Cloud 9 IV on 23 August 2017 and it couldn't have been better. The food and service was impeccable. Mark and Vicki and her crew couldn't do enough to help this event be idyllic! We (and all of our guests) can't praise and recommend them enough for future events. read more
