About this event
Twenty minutes on the water in the sheltered embayment between Piers 1 and 2, looking straight across at Lower Manhattan and up at the Brooklyn Bridge. The boathouse supplies kayaks, paddles and life vests, and volunteers run the dock. Sessions run Wednesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday daytimes through August, then Saturdays only in September.
