The Manhattan Mermaid

She moves around the city like she owns the water

Built for intimacy. Refined for Manhattan.

Commissioned in 2020, the Manhattan Mermaid is a SeaRay 270 SDX — a vessel as comfortable cutting through harbor swells as she is glides by lady libery at dusk.

The Manhattan Mermaid is an intimate private charter for those who know that the best view of Manhattan has always been from the water. She accommodates up to eight guests, ensuring your evening feels genuinely private.

Whether you arrive for a golden-hour celebration, a quiet anniversary, or a moment that needs to be remembered forever, the Mermaid offers the setting. The rest is yours to design.

"Credit to Amal and her crew. Our event was a hit and our team loved the experience. As a customer appreciation venue I cannot recommend Big Apple Charters enough. Top level service. Thank you!"

"We were afraid it would rain and Amal, the owner, told us she was on it! Not sure her connection upstairs, but by the time the sun went down we had the best sunset I have ever seen. Thanks for making our day perfect!"
