Welcome to New York Outrigger!
New York Outrigger is Manhattan Island's first outrigger canoe club. We
are a volunteer-driven, non-profit educational organization committed to providing
the safe environment, instruction, equipment, and camaraderie needed to enjoy
the sport of outrigger canoeing.
About us

Based in Chelsea since 1996, New York Outrigger continues its community mission of providing affordable recreational and cultural opportunities in New York’s waterways through the sport of outrigger canoeing. We offer excitement and esprit de corps while always being safety conscious.
We operate out of the Pier 66 Boathouse located in the Hudson River Park along the West Side Highway at West 26th Street.
