Come Play on the Water with Us!

We're opening our doors for a free day of fun on New Haven Harbor. Try rowing, dragon boating, and paddling in the morning, then sailing in the afternoon.

Morning Rowing & Paddling 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 must be at least 9 years old, with an adult staying with them the whole time.

Afternoon Sailing Adventure: 1pm – 4pm

Want to go sailing? Our friendly volunteers will take you out for a sail around the harbor. Kids must be at least 5 years old, with an adult staying with them the whole time.

What to Bring

  • A water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • A 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 or paddling, 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!
