Exclusive Charters

Customize your Grand Lady experience for your next special event and let the captain and crew of the Grand Lady handle every detail!

In our 27-year history, the Grand Lady has hosted just about any type of social event you can imagine, including weddings, showers, engagement parties, anniversaries, and reunions. We also specialize in corporate parties ranging from customer appreciation cruises to employee outings and team building events. Regardless of the occasion, the Grand Lady is the perfect venue for your next summer outing.

When renting the boat for your event, our exclusive charters give you and your group exclusive use of the Grand Lady. The flat-rate charter fee provides your party with all facilities on board, crew to operate a vessel, and a cash bar. Food and beverage packages are in addition to the charter rate, and you can customize these packages to be as elaborate or as simple as you would like.

When privately chartering the boat, you are welcome to play music through our sound system via Spotify. You can make a public playlist that we can search for, or let our staff know the genre of music requested. You may also hire live entertainment through either a solo musician or a DJ. Please find our policies regarding DJs here.

You can check for private charter availability on the calendar, but we only accept private charter bookings by phone so that we are able to discuss your event personally prior to booking. Give us a call at 716-873-4630 or email us at [email protected] for help in booking a private event aboard the Grand Lady.
