Safety Net
All human powered boaters need to register with a boat house or participating boating group to participate in City of Water Day. These organizations row, kayak and canoe in our Harbor every day. Programming ranges from free paddling to kids programs to high level professional instruction and tours. Our harbor is the 6th borough of New York and we encourage you to participate through an experienced boating organization. Safety and enjoyment of our waters is very important. We encourage you to contact the human-powered boating groups listed on the boathouse contacts page.
Local NYC independent HPB's are welcome to participate and we ask you to file a float plan for your trip. Many of you launch from the same locations as participating boathouses and boating groups so we ask you to coordinate with them where possible.
For more information check out the General Boater Info page.
