If you’re planning a day on the water in Long Island, you’ve probably considered your options: Should you join a group boat tour, or go for a private boat rental? While group tours may seem like the easy choice, more and more locals and visitors are turning to private boat charters for a more personalized, premium, and memorable experience.
At Over the Top Water Sports, we specialize in curated adventure boat rentals that blend excitement with luxury, offering wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and tubing—all tailored exclusively to your group. Here’s why exclusive is better when it comes to enjoying the water in Long Island.
Privacy and Personalization You Can’t Get on a Group Tour
On a typical group tour, you’re one of many. That means fixed routes, timed schedules, and sharing space with strangers. With a private boat rental, you’re in charge of your day. No crowded seating, no fighting for attention, and no rigid itineraries.
At Over the Top, your boat charter is entirely your own—whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a family day, or just looking to escape for a few hours. You’ll enjoy:
-
Full access to the boat for your group (1–6 people)
-
Customizable activities and pacing
-
Dedicated captain and instructor focused solely on you
Flexible Scheduling and Activities
Group tours stick to the script. Want more time tubing? Need to start a bit later to grab brunch? Too bad. But with a private boat charter, you can tailor your experience to your needs.
With Over the Top’s adventure boat rental, you choose the duration (2–4 hours) and the vibe—whether that’s high-energy wakeboarding or relaxed cruising with friends and music. You’re in control.
Premium Equipment and Exclusive Service
When you book a private boat rental with Over the Top Water Sports, you’re stepping onto a top-of-the-line watercraft, equipped for wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and tubing. You’re not just getting a boat—you’re getting:
-
A professionally maintained luxury wake boat
-
A certified captain and instructor
-
Pro-quality gear for every rider
-
A premium experience with VIP-level attention
Compare that to a group tour’s often-basic equipment and minimal instruction, and the choice is clear.
Perfect for Special Occasions
A private boat charter is ideal for celebrating milestones or just making the most of your time together. Whether it’s a:
-
Bachelor or bachelorette party
-
Family outing with kids
-
Couples’ weekend
-
Birthday celebration
-
Corporate incentive trip
You’ll enjoy an elevated experience designed around your group—not a crowd.
Better Value Than You Think
While group tours may seem cheaper upfront, they often come with hidden costs—extra charges for gear, limited time on the water, and a diluted experience. At Over the Top, our private boat rentals are $400/hour for up to 6 people, with all gear and coaching included.
When you factor in the personalized service, private setting, and premium water sports, the value far exceeds the group tour alternative.
