Join North Brooklyn Community Boathouse

The North Brooklyn Community Boathouse is a nonprofit, volunteer-run community organization. Our mission is to enable access to the waterways of NYC for its residents and thus promote human-powered boating and environmental restoration. We bring our community back to its own waters.

NBCB depends on member support through annual dues and volunteer participation. Become a part of your community boat club for all the best things:

Community • Advocacy • Adventure • Paddling
