The organization Row New York has a great reputation, so please the other reviews recommending it. Ive known a couple of people that have volunteered or worked here too and recommend it. I personally know the boathouse as one of the floating landmarks one passes during a circumnavigation of Manhattan or from other destinations further afoot like the Bronx River. A group I used to paddle regularly with, HarborLAB.org also had permission to take a rest stop here during two overnight circumnavigations we had in conjunction with the Perseid Meteor Shower on different years. I will never forget the large amount of bioluminescence we witnessed in the waters surrounding the boathouse one such night.
Row New York operates out of the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse, and it is one of the best youth programs in New York City. They offer programs in three boroughs - Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Contact Row NY for additional information. Row NY also offers programs for adults. The Boathouse offers a beautiful view of the Harlem River.
The best program that still exist in NewYork City: Row program is free. Provides young children and youth with values and tools to have a successful life: Sport and academics! Have the best director and coaches in the world,people that love children and love what they do which is coaching and mentoring everybody that join the program. This is a rare jewel that our city and children from middle school all the way to high school really can enjoy! Healthy environment,safe there is and is not going to be another program like this ever again! Thanks for everything Row New York!
This is the home of RNY the staff here are amazing, and the kids in the team are like family! More people should join this boathouse.
Kayaks training
Great place, and you make many new friends but dont forget that when you join your expected to do the workout and races to.
Great military/veteran friendly place. Just started a free program for veteran Mon, Wed, and Sat.
Very nice boathouse for those rowing in Harlem. Wooden made and floating in the river.
Multiple crew teams operate from this boathouse including Row New York (RNY), Fordham University, and Riverdale High School. Rowing is an expensive sport, and the maintenance on the boats as well as hiring trained professionals is why learn to row classes through RNY, can be expensive. However, the prices are fair and cheap. As an adult, it is more expensive to join a private club and learn through them. Row House, is one of many clubs/gyms thats located in NYC, where theyll show you the basics of rowing using rowing machines. However, they do not own or operate a fleet of boats, hence why they are much cheaper. Rowing is an AMAZING sport, best to learn when youre student but there are multiple ways to learn post-college through organizations like RNY and others throughout NYC.
Awesome
