Classic Harborline: Yacht Manhattan

Classic Harbor Line operates a fleet of classically designed yachts and schooners out of Chelsea Piers, Pier 62, on the Hudson River in New York City. The company's Yacht Manhattan — an 80-foot, 1920s-style motor yacht with a buff hull, teak decks, and mahogany trim — is one of its flagship vessels for private charters and event cruises in New York Harbor. The Yacht Manhattan accommodates up to 65 guests for private events in mild weather, with a Coast Guard certification for 85 passengers. The vessel features a signature all-glass observatory cabin that is climate-controlled year-round, full bar service, and a full-service galley offering banquet catering for everything from passed hors d'oeuvres to seated dinners. The yacht hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, birthday celebrations, and private group cruises against a backdrop of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and New York Harbor. Classic Harbor Line's charter team works with groups to customize routes along the Hudson River and around the harbor, with cruise durations typically around 2.75 hours for a full circumnavigation of Manhattan.
