Kayak with us

We’re closed for now, but we’ll be back at our dock at Pier 2 in summer 2024! Look for updated information on reservations and hours of operation in May 2024.

 

3 ways to kayak with us

General Kayaking

We offer free kayaking every Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday starting on the last Wednesday in May. Kayakers can paddle around our protected embayment for 20 minutes with stunning views of the NYC skyline. We provide the boats, paddles, and life vests, and you do the paddling! Read our FAQ to learn more.

Kids and Family Paddle

On summer Sundays, our free program is open just for kids and their guardians. Children aged 7 and older can paddle solo (as long as a guardian is present) thanks to additional on-water safety boaters from The Kayak Foundation who are specially trained to work with kids. Read our FAQ to learn more.

Kayak Polo

Kayak polo is a mix of basketball, water polo, and kayaking. And it’s a whole lot of fun! Games are open to the public and free for all. No experience is necessary—we’re happy to teach you what you need to know. Read our FAQ to learn more.
