Essex River Cruises & Charters has developed a reputation for hosting the finest celebrations. So whether you’re entertaining visitors or planning a special event, we’ll plan it your way to make sure it’s a success!

If you’re planning a birthday party, anniversary celebration, surprise party, or reunion we have the perfect venue to create a memorable event. Our boats are available for private charter and offer multiple catering options.
 

If you’d like to host a party on board the boat, charter with us for a private cocktail and appetizer cruise, afternoon cruise with a catered lunch, or a floating clambake on board the boat or dockside at an island. If you’re interested in a beach party, call us to plan a traditional New England Clambake at a secluded tidal beach.

Private charters are also perfect for weddings and rehearsal dinners. We’ve hosted many successful weddings on board the boat and out at a secluded tidal beach. Together our boats can accommodate up to 100 people for your special wedding celebration. We have different catering options available. If you have a caterer in mind, let us know and we’ll be glad to work with them!
