Join our Community of Adventurers

We cap our total membership so everyone knows each other. Enroll this March to secure your spot. This club is for locals who want to paddle often, build relationships with fellow adventurers, and find rhythm on the water for an entire year.

Because NYC waters are dynamic and require local expertise, our club focuses on supported group adventures rather than “rent-and-go” paddling. Member-only adventures and socials are released exclusively to members upon enrollment.

What You Get

  • Save on public trips, classes, and rentals—Classic: 50% off, Unlimited: 100% off.
  • Choose from 100+ boats and boards during guided sessions.
  • Free member-only away trips to tranquil waters beyond the city.
  • Socials with our welcoming community.
  • One free guest every month—plus 25% off additional guests.

Note sure if you can paddle all year? Classic members can pause once per year at $25/month.

I went from a 20-minute paddle near the Intrepid to a Manhattan Circumnavigation. — Dave

Other places gave me a paddle and said “go.” MKC gave me a path. — Alexandra

I didn’t expect to find a real community here. But I did. — Jonah
