Committed to bringing the community back to its waters.

North Brooklyn Community Boathouse is a volunteer run, non-profit 501(c)(3) community organization. NBCB depends on member support through annual dues and volunteer participation.

The North Brooklyn Community Boathouse is dedicated to enabling safe, responsible, human-powered boating, and educating residents to be stewards of the history, ecology and sustainability of the waterways of Newtown Creek and the adjacent East River.
