Note: There is a minimum rental of 3 hours for each yacht rental. For Manhattan trips with Serenity, it is a 6 hour rental because the additional time that will be needed to travel to and from the statue of liberty.
Regarding “Tranquility” Typically, customers like to stay within the bays of Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor due to time allowance and the fact that they offer quiet. calm, safe anchorages.
Traveling to a any other destination can be arranged with your captain or spoken about during booking.
The Glen Cove Yachts are some times used to travel to Manhattan or any destination of your choice within reason. A small fuel budget is built into the price for local cruising, if you desire to travel elsewhere with the yacht, you will be responsible for the fuel costs involved.
Maximum of 12 guests (plus crew) is allowed on the bare boat / demise charter yacht rentals. The law actually states that the charterer is allowed plus 12 of thier guests, plus crew. However, the marina has asked us to keep it at 12 due to the capacity of their launch/ferry boat.
Yes. Most of the yachts have 2 bathrooms! Also, the marina has bathroom facilities that you can use before boarding and after disembarking.
Yes, we can supply a list of local options for deli, pizzeria, Chinese food or catered food that you can bring onboard the Yachts. We do intend on adding all of our recommendations onto a page in our website before the 2026 season begins.

Food and drinks are not included.
Yes alcohol is allowed, bring what you like.
Yes, you may bring what ever you like to eat or drink including alcohol. We are just going state that drinking must be done responsibly. There are serious dangers out there are on the water. Please watch each other and stay safe at all times.
Whatever you wish, its your rental. Just, we would advise that it is a good idea to try to keep it simple and compact as well as neat and orderly. Keep in mind that everything needs to be carried across a gravel parking lot, transported down the docks, loaded into a smaller / shuttle boat to get out to the larger boat, than carried up the ladders into the larger boat, stored safely ect. Sometimes a box is a good idea with everything safe and tightly packed inside to prevent spillage ect. Note; All trash will need to leave with you, as we do not have a way to discard the trash on the boat.
Yes, there are several local restaurants / bars to visit while cruising. Go for cocktails or meals. You may choose to be dropped off at a local bar / restaurant that is within walking distance from your vehicles.
We will further elaborate on this list prior to 2026 season.
For the Oysterbay location, you might choose: Coopers Bluff located in the marina parking lot at 5 Bay Avenue Oyster bay, Or another choice is in Cold Spring Harbor called Harbor Mist at 105 Harbor Rd, Cold Spring Harbor.
If you would be on one of the Glen Cove Yachts, the closest choices would be: Lauras BBQ at 128 Shore rd Glen Cove NY, or "The Cove" restaurant and Oysterbar at 74 Shore rd Glen Cove NY.
Yes, on Tranquility and Serenity there is a BBQ that can be utilized, your chosen crew would be happy to assist with the use of the BBQ. All cooking utensils are available for use on the boat.
Yes, although life jackets are supplied enough for everyone on board, bringing your own comfortable or customized sizings / styles is certainly allowed.
If you have young children, we recommend and encourage that you have them in a life vest before walking down the dock – in their own appropriately sized vest. Note: All children 13 or less must be wearing a life vest at all times while the boat is in motion. This includes, while on the marina dock, and, while on the shuttle boat that will bring your group out to the yacht. For this reason, it will be necessary to bring your own life jackets for children under the age of 14.
Yes, the time can be extended, however, we would need to discuss this when you are booking so that we can make sure it does not interfere with other booking time slots. The evening is the easiest time to extend because, usually there is no other group boarding after your party. The mid day is sometimes extendable if reserved early enough in the season before we fill up the schedule. The morning time slot, we would usually have to extend it by adding time on the earlier end, meaning, start earlier, and we can add some time on the back end as well to get an extra hour or so. Note: Regarding value pricing, We do give the best deals out to the morning time slots. And we do offer a discounted hourly rate for extending time past the three hours.
Yes, you may link up to our blue tooth sound system and choose to play your own play list. We must be conservative with the volume when in the marina area or near other boaters, however, once out in the open space, it is ok to crank up the volume within reason.
Yes, shoes are allowed on the yachts. Following, what "is" and "is not" allowed:
We ask that you consider gentle, soft sole boat friendly shoes. White or light color soles. Sneakers and flip flops are ok.
No dark black shoes because they make scuff marks that are difficult to remove. Also, no high heals, or pointy heals because they damage the soft foam decking and also cause a liability issue.
All trash will need to leave with you, as we do not have a way to discard the trash on the boat. Please consider this when bringing stuff on the yacht, to keep it minimal. Trash will be carried up into the parking lot by the renter and placed into the dumpster.
Yes, the renter / charterer is required by law to sign a bare-boat charter agreement which we also combine with a waver of liability. All adult guests on the rented vessel must also sign a waver of liability. There must be a legal parent or guardian for children. Note: We will not be held responsible for any injuries or death that may occur during, before, or after a rental relating to a booking or outing with Long Island Yacht Rental, or any of the yachts owners, or any representative or employee associated with the rental.
If you choose to have a captain/crew from our approved list of crew, which is often the case, The captain / crew / staff taking care of the yachts would be compensated from the customary 20% crew gratuities that the renter pays separately from the rental price and paid to the chosen captain. You may choose to captain the yacht yourself, but, you would first go through our 10 to 30 hour training course to get you approved to operate the vessel.
We have a list of crew that will be shared to a renter, who are qualified, who agree to manage the operations for their fair share of the 20% gratuity that they receive, paid from the renter. Note: By bareboat rules, law, the crew must not receive any compensation from the owner of the vessel or any representative of the owner. The crew would have to be paid directly from the renter, and that is the reason for the for the suggested 20% gratuity to be paid to the chosen crew.
