Come Play on the Water with Us!

We're opening our doors for a free day of fun on New Haven Harbor. Come try rowing in the morning and sailing in the afternoon!

Morning Rowing Fun: 9am - noon

Try rowing a boat, paddling a kayak, or joining others in a dragon boat! Never done it before? No problem! We'll show you how it works, both on land and water. Kids need to be at least 9 years old to join in and must be accompanied by an adult.

Afternoon Sailing Adventure: 1pm - 4pm

Want to go sailing? Our friendly volunteers will take you out for a sail around the harbor. Kids 5 and older can sail with their parents.

What to Bring:

  • A water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat or sunglasses
  • Extra clothes (you might get splashed!)
  • A towel
  • Your own life jacket if you have one (especially for kids - we have some but not many kid sizes)

Quick Tip: If you're coming for rowing in the morning, wear clothes that aren't too loose or baggy - they can get caught in the equipment.

Everything else you need will be right here. Just show up ready to have fun on the water!
