About us
We are a free paddling group located at the Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse at the Hoboken waterfront.
Our kayaking season at Maxwell Place begins in late May and runs through September. If you like to join our kayaking days inside our protected cove, there is no need to sign up or RSVP, just show up when we are open. Everyone is welcome!
Check our schedule under "free paddle days" on our website for dates and times.

To join our volunteer trainings and trips the first step is to volunteer during our public program. You can sign up for the meetups labeled: "Volunteers - Help with our public program". We'll train you on the spot!
Once you volunteer, you'll have access to join kayak and SUP lessons with our instructors for free! After a few sessions you may start joining our amazing volunteer trips.
We hope to see you soon.
