The Village Community Boathouse was founded in 2008 as an offshoot of a unique boating organization called Floating the Apple, founded in 1992 by a charismatic archeologist-turned-advocate named Mike Davis. Mike's big idea was that the harbor was public space—our biggest Commons—and that each of the city's waterfront neighborhoods should be home to a community boathouse where residents could come together to row in the summer and fall, and to build boats in the winter. During OHNY Weekend, guests will be able to see the boats and woodshop where VCB builds and repairs its fleet throughout the year.

Saturday and Sunday tours: Ongoing

Learn about the craft of boatbuilding from Village Community Boathouse volunteers who construct all boats used for community rowing events at VCB.

Visitors should dress for the weather. There is no heat in the boathouse.
