Join NYC’s Adventure Club

If it’s listed on our public schedule, your 50% discount applies. This includes all public classes, tours, trips, and rentals. All boats and gear is included, and is only for use during club activities.

You’ll also be invited to free, members-only socials, away trips, and camping. These are not listed publicly.

Private lessons are not covered by your full membership discount, but we’re pleased to offer members 25% off all private sessions–even if you bring a friend along.

Public activities are listed on our website and open to everyone. Members get a discount on those when they book online.

Members-only activities are not listed publicly. They are free for members and RSVP-only—we’ll send invites directly by email.

New membership spots open based on how active our current members are. If space remains, we may open additional spots the following month–but demand rises quickly as the season picks up, so spring is the best time to join.
Member discounts only apply to bookings made after your membership is active.

We don’t share the members-only calendar publicly. Once you become a member, you’ll receive invitations and access to the full private calendar.

Yes—each member gets one free guest pass per calendar month. Your guest can join any public activity with you, as long as they meet the skill and safety requirements. No combining or rolling over passes. Guests are also welcome to hang out at the boathouse while you paddle or attend socials.

No. All MKC programming uses MKC boats. Personal boats are not allowed in any class, tour, or trip. You may bring personal gear, like a paddle or spray skirt, if you prefer yours.

Storage members may use their own boat outside of MKC programming. Boats must be stored on-site and pass our annual safety inspection.

Yes. The dock at Pier 84 is a public launch open during our staffed hours. Anyone with proper gear and safety knowledge may use it independently. Please sign-in with our staff before launching and follow NYC harbor safety guidelines.

We offer free storage for small personal paddling gear like paddles, life jackets, splash jackets, and wetsuits. All gear must be labeled. We do not store boats under this membership.

No login is needed. Just go to our website, choose your activity, and use your member code at checkout. You’ll enter your name, email, and payment info each time–no account or password required.

Even though you’re a member, all public activities must still be booked in advance. Activities are subject to our standard 72-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy.

If you ever have questions about what’s included or how to book, just reach out–we’re here to help you.
