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

New York Outrigger has helped educate thousands of New Yorkers to be safe and confident paddlers while reaching millions of others through high-profile media coverage. 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.

New York Outrigger runs the popular Novice Sessions from late-Spring to early-Fall.

New York Outrigger will host the 2010 Liberty World Outrigger Competition on July 31.
