Private Charters in Pittsburgh:
Your Event, Your Boat, Your Skyline

Some events need more than a rented banquet hall. They need somewhere memorable. Gateway Clipper’s private charters give you exclusive use of a riverboat and the best views in Pittsburgh —no shared space, no other guests, just your group and the Three Rivers skyline.

Whether you’re planning a prom night to remember, a corporate event, a team-building outing, a holiday party, or something entirely your own, a private charter turns a normal event into an experience people actually talk about.

Why Book a Private Charter Instead of a Traditional Venue

🛥️ The Whole Boat Is Yours – Fully private, exclusive-use event space for your group only

🌆 A Venue Nobody Else Can Offer – Skyline views, moving scenery, and the energy of being out on the water

🎉 Flexible for Any Occasion – From high school proms to executive retreats, the space adapts to your event

🍽️ Built-In Catering & Bar Options – Food, drinks, and event logistics can all be handled in one place

🎶 Entertainment Ready – Sound systems, dance floors, and deck space built for music and mingling

📍 One Location, No Hassle – Guests board once and the “venue” comes to them — no shuttling between locations

Events We Host

Prom Cruises

Give students a prom night that doesn’t look like every other year. A private prom charter means a dance floor with skyline views, photo ops nobody else’s prom will have, and a night students will actually remember. Schools and parent committees can customize themes, playlists, and timing to fit their event.

Corporate Events

Impress clients, celebrate a big win, or host your annual meeting somewhere that doesn’t feel like a conference room. Corporate charters work well for:

Client appreciation events, product launches, executive retreats, company milestone celebrations & networking events and mixers

 Team Building

Get your team out of the office and onto the water. A private cruise creates a relaxed, shared environment that’s great for team bonding, off-sites,
and end-of-quarter celebrations — without the awkward “trust fall in a conference room” energy.

Holiday Parties

Skip the same old hotel ballroom this year. A holiday charter offers festive skyline views, room for a full dinner or a mix-and-mingle cocktail format,
and a setting that instantly makes the party feel like an event, not just an office obligation.
