We hopped aboard one of Boatsetter's charter yachts in New York City's Hudson River to see what the service was like.
A modest breeze whipped against my face, the sun beaming in the west, as I climbed aboard a 38-foot charter yacht on a recent Sunday. The weather had been hovering in the pristine 70s all day, and the evening showed little signs of an about face. The water is the calmest it’s been in weeks, our host explained, stating how lucky my friend and I were to hop on today.
As for our ride, the plan was to cruise up and down the West Side, exploring the scenery from Manhattan’s tip up to 74th Street, or so. To be honest, I arrived at Chelsea Piers with moderate expectations. Being a New Yorker, I was familiar with the West Side and wasn’t sure how a water view would change that.,” said Amal Salameh, owner of Big Apple Charters, NYC’s only female-run charter company.
Our captain navigated the waves, slightly choppy but manageable, as my friend and I lounged on the bow. Soon enough, we took a turn at the wheel, marveling at how many fish lurked below us onAs mentioned, Boatsetter’s cruises aren’t limited to just Manhattan: The website lists more than 50,000 boats of all sizes and classes in over 700 locations around the world. The brand estimates 10 percent of its business is “Boatsetter LUX,” a high-end experience booked through its concierge team.
