About Operation Overnight

The program is open to groups at least 10 people in size.

Participants must be at least six years old.

Participants ages 6-10 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. Participants ages 11-17 must have an adult group leader AND one chaperone for every 10 kids.

For groups 10 to 100 people in size, a flat fee of $500 is required to make a reservation. For groups larger than 100 people, a flat fee of $1,000 is required to make a reservation. Reservations must be made at least 60 days before a visit. All deposits are non-refundable.

Full payment is due no later than 45 days prior to the group’s arrival. Payments must be made with one transaction via check or credit card. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express.

Cancellations within 72 hours of a visit are not eligible for a refund. If you have paid in full and cancel more than 72 hours before your visit, you are eligible for a refund but we will charge a $30 processing fee. Refund requests due to a positive COVID-19 test will be granted in full.

Meals are not included in the Operation Overnight program. Guests may bring food on board the Yorktown, order food for pick-up or delivery, or depart the ship and eat off-site. Please contact the overnight office for more details by calling 843-881-5932 or emailing [email protected].

Assigned berthing (sleeping) areas are limited to members of the same group and are sanitized between reservations. We utilize an ultraviolet (UV) light air purification process within our HVAC systems. UV light deactivates airborne and surface contaminants like mold, bacteria and viruses. Hand sanitizing stations are available for use throughout the museum.
