Edit Business Info About this business:
Pier 40 at the Western end of Houston St on the river side of the West Side Highway. They are on the walkway of Pier 40.
Walk-up kayaking: This is our original and most popular program. The only requirement is that you know how to swim. It runs at all of our locations on weekends and holidays from May 12th to October 14th, and on many weekday evenings. You can take one of our kayaks out for a short 20-minute paddle inside the protected embayment in front of the boathouse. We give you a life jacket, a kayak, a paddle, and some tips on paddling. You will need to stay inside our protected embayment where we can keep an eye on you, but otherwise you are on your own to enjoy the river and the sunshine. Bring a bathing suit, or shorts and a T-Shirt. We have changing rooms, and a hose to rinse off.
Three Hour Trips: We run guided trips every weekend and holiday morning from June 16th 2007 to September 16th 2007 from our Pier 96 Clinton Cove (56th St.) location. The trips leave our protected enclosed area, and go out into the Hudson River and the lower harbor. The exact destination depends on the tides and the weather, but we usually go at least 4 or 5 miles. To go on the trip you must go out several times on our walk-up program, or have previous kayaking experience. We require this to build-up your strength and allow you to get familiar with the boats. The trips are three hours of constant paddling and require you to be physically fit.
