Nyack Boat Charter is a private boat rental service based in Nyack, New York, offering personalized charters on the Hudson River.
The company operates small powerboats with private captains for groups of up to six people, delivering flexible experiences that range from 90-minute cruises to half-day and full-day charters. Guests can choose a 90 Minute Powerboat Charter to view Nyack's waterfront landmarks, including Hook Mountain and the Tappan Zee Bridge, or select a Half Day Charter for four hours exploring the Hudson Highlands or New York City. Full Day Charters of eight hours provide extended cruising with options to stop for lunch in Cold Spring or Brooklyn and to see attractions such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty.
Each charter allows guests to bring their own food and drinks and gives the option to stop at a waterfront bar or enjoy a picnic on board.
