Four hours on this boat is $14,000 and eight hours is $19,000, first party, and the operator itemizes both. The four hour price splits into $11,370 for the vessel and $2,330 for services, the eight hour price into $15,536 and $3,164. Minimum booking is four hours and capacity is up to 85 guests with two captains and two crew. Almost nobody in this category prices to the dollar in public.
hamptonsboatrental.com/hamptons-wedding-event-yachtThis operator publishes what almost no other Long Island vessel will put in writing. It does not set sail if a small craft advisory has been issued, or if it is raining, or if rain is imminent. The call is made roughly two hours before departure, and inclement weather permits a rain date. That single paragraph answers the question couples ask most often. Read it next to the cancellation terms, because full payment is due at booking and there are no refunds except for inclement weather, with a complimentary date change only at 90 days or more.
The page prices vessel and services separately, then states that the price excludes fuel, staffing and gratuity. Those two statements sit awkwardly together, because services is already itemized at $2,330 on the four hour package and $3,164 on the eight. Ask what services covers and what fuel and staffing will add on top. Duration options run four hours at 10am to 2pm or 3pm to 7pm, six hours at 11am to 5pm, eight hours at 10am to 6pm, and a sunset cruise from 6pm to 9pm.
Food, beverages and alcohol are all bring your own, first party, with catering referrals available separately through the operator. Ice, bottled water and three bathrooms come with the boat. What the wedding and event page never addresses is the ceremony itself. No ceremony provisions, no officiant guidance and no ceremony amenities are described anywhere on it, which for a page sold as a wedding yacht page is a gap worth raising on the first call. There is also no inspected vessel claim here, only a statement that all boats will be captained by a USCG licensed captain.
Hamptonsboatrental.com, yachthampton.com and hamptonseventyacht.com carry overlapping vessels, different prices, different seasons and copyright years of 2023, 2024 and 2026 between them. They are one operator with named hulls. Establish in writing which page's terms govern your contract, because the season on one page ran to 30 October 2024 while another runs 1 May to 15 October with no year given at all. Neither is a usable 2026 season.
The 150 passenger figure attached to The Lauren Kristy comes from third party editorial, and from four independent write ups that agree with each other.
The Freeport Gem publishes $4,950 for up to 50 people, tax and gratuity included, and $55 per additional person plus tax.
Sapphire Princess publishes a capacity of up to 127 guests on its own site, and that figure is corroborated twice.
Captain Lou Fleet publishes 1 to 150 passengers for Captain Lou VII on its private charters page, first party, and the identical figure for two sister hulls at the same dock.
The Moon Chaser publishes a capacity of 200 people, first party, which is the largest of any vessel docked on Long Island.
