Y Le Yacht will be the first fully electric commercial vessel of its kind:
A floating luxury hotel which will offer to its guests the never previously experienced option of visiting Manhattan both from the water and on the ground, at their leisure, while also being able to experience a gastronomical and thrilling experience of sleeping on the water surrounded by the skyline of one of the most beautiful city in the world.
Whether it will be for a specific occasion, for corporate meetings, or simply for the pleasure of discovering something new and unique, “ Y Le Yacht” will offer to its select clientele an opportunity to be spoiled and get the thrill of a unique experience, for one night, one week or longer, in one suite or the whole privatized yacht…
Traveling around Manhattan is a historic experience, and discovering its iconic skyline from the sea is a true experience.
The boat will travel on and off at different times of the day and night all around the island of Manhattan, with spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the new downtown Memorial building, the Freedom Tower, the Chrysler building, the United Nations, the Empire State Building, and all the new iconic skycrappers of Central Park South and Hudson Yards.
While on-board, guests will relax around the pool while admiring the scenary and learn all about the history of Manhattan through a unique exploration journey with select stops. They will however still be able to disembark at anytime and join the city center easily, or reembark the boat after their shopping, thanks to the private boat tender service Le Yacht will offer.
