Plan a Memorable Sweet 16 Celebration in NYC

On a private yacht

The skyline as backdrop, open-air decks, and a dance area create a setting unlike a typical event hall — every detail, from lighting to catering, can be built around the guest of honor.

Themes and entertainment

  • Red carpet, tropical escape, neon glow, masquerade, or Hollywood-inspired themes
  • Live DJs, LED dance floors, interactive photo booths
  • Mocktail bars and candy buffets
  • Games, dance contests and themed playlists

Catering

Menus built for teens — gourmet sliders, pasta bars, cupcake towers or ice cream stations — customizable to theme or dietary needs.

Best seasons

Spring and early summer for mild temperatures and blooming views; autumn for crisp air and golden light. Sunset cruises give golden-hour photos followed by the city lights after dark.
