A non-profit all volunteer organization serving community residents of New York

and New Jersey since 1992.

MISSION STATEMENT

To restore universal access onto the public waterways and to introducing the public, especially young people, to the joys of rowing and sailing on the urban waters.

To bring people back onto the rivers and bays of NYC and to putting them in daily touch with the wonder, commerce and heritage of the city’s natural harbor, its greatest outdoor space.

To connect city neighborhoods by water with each other and with towns up the rivers through an informal network of boathouse communities, extending hospitality to all boaters.

Since it’s founding in 1992, Floating the Apple has built rowing gigs to be distributed to boat houses throughout the metropolitan area. We have collaborated and held events with boat rowing facilities on piers along the Hudson River, the Bronx and Connecticut.

Rowing our 26’ Whitehall Rowing Gigs at Pier 84 Community Boathouse is open to all and always free of charge. We schedule rows up the river routinely, by appointment. Visit us during rowing hours or contact us below.

            Summer Schedule:      Thursday - Sunday, 3:00PM to Sunset

            Location:                        Pier 84  43 Street & 12th Avenue
