Booking apps for yacht charters on the Hudson and New York Harbor.

Each yacht has a home pier and, where you allow it, alternative pickup points such as a New Jersey marina across the river. Guests see the departure point, walking directions from the nearest subway, check-in time and what to bring, and the crew sees exactly who is boarding where.

Event planners request a quote with date, head count, catering and bar package. Your team approves it, the client signs, and staged invoices follow with purchase order numbers and company billing details. Approved quotes become bookings without rekeying anything.

Corporate hosts upload a list or invite guests by link, change names until your cutoff, and track who has signed. Each guest signs their waiver, gives an emergency contact and confirms age where alcohol is served, and the crew boards from the final manifest.

Licensed captains, deckhands, bartenders and servers are scheduled per sailing. The system tracks Coast Guard credentials and their expiry, drug testing program enrollment and the crew size each vessel needs, and lets crew accept or trade shifts from their phones.

Six passenger yachts and inspected vessels are configured separately, each with the limit it may legally carry for hire. Public seat sales, private charters and corporate bookings all draw from the same limit, so a busy evening cannot oversell a boat. Crew minimums scale with the head count you set for each vessel, and the dashboard shows remaining space per sailing at a glance.

High wind, poor visibility or a temporary security zone can cancel or reroute a sailing. Operations places a hold, the app notifies each booking with the reason, and guests choose a new time, a credit or a refund within the policy they accepted. Corporate hosts can be called by your team from the same screen when an evening event has to move.

Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay for visitors; deposits plus invoice balances for companies. Payments run through a PCI DSS compliant processor and refunds go back to the original method automatically, with every adjustment logged against the booking. Corporate clients can pay balances by invoice while visitors pay in full at checkout.

Hudson sunset, harbor and Statue of Liberty loop, East River bridges, or a longer private charter: each route has its own duration, minimum crew and eligible yachts, with seasonal routes switched on and off from the dashboard. Routes can carry notes for the captain, such as preferred photo stops near Liberty Island or a slower pass under the bridges.

Some New York operators sell individual seats on a fixed sunset or fireworks sailing as well as whole yacht charters. The app sells tickets by seat count, closes sales when the vessel limit is reached, issues a scannable boarding pass, and lets the crew check guests in at the pier gate without paper lists.

Bookings by pier, vessel and route, crew costs, holds and refund totals, deposits awaiting balance and quotes waiting for signature. Exports go to your accounting tool so month end is not a reconciliation exercise. Managers can filter by week to see which piers and routes carry the season.
