Experience the Bronx River with Rocking the Boat!
Community Rowing allows New Yorkers of all ages to explore the Bronx River aboard student-built wooden row boats accompanied by Rocking the Boat staff who give them a chance to go rowing and introduce them to the beauty of New York's only fresh water river.
Community Sailing offers anyone the unique opportunity to sail on the Bronx River! On select Saturdays throughout the summer, people of all ages are invited to board Rocking the Boat’s fleet of catamarans. No sailing experience is required.
Community Birding brings birdwatching to the shores of the Bronx River. Participants identify and learn about local species with the guidance of knowledgeable guides. Binoculars, spotting scopes, and field guides will be provided.
No reservations are required. All participants must sign a liability release waiver and waivers for children 17 and under must be co-signed by a parent or guardian. Check this page or rockingtheboat.org for cancellations due to inclement weather. Send questions to publicprograms@rockingtheboat.org.
