Why Watch a Jones Beach Concert by Boat?
The Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater is one of Long Island’s most iconic venues. But while the performances are electric, the logistics can be a nightmare. Between overpriced tickets, packed parking lots, long bathroom lines, and sky-high concession prices, even die-hard fans sometimes think twice.
That’s where Freeport Charter Boats and the Beach Princess come in.
Instead of fighting crowds, set sail on the Beach Princess—a 24-foot pontoon party barge that transforms your concert night into a luxury escape. With the boat anchored just offshore, you’ll still hear the full concert experience while skipping all the downsides of the venue. It’s intimate, personal, and unforgettable.

What to Expect on Your 5-Hour Charter
The Beach Princess departs from Freeport, NY, and cruises along Long Island’s south shore before anchoring near Jones Beach Theater. Here’s a full look at your night on the water:
Smooth Check-In & Departure: Meet your captain, get settled, and kick off the evening with a welcome toast as you pull away from the docks.
