Hudson River Sloop Clearwater protects the Hudson River and stewards a robust and engaged intergenerational community of river advocates through unique sailing, education, and advocacy programs. We sail the historic sloop Clearwater – America’s Environmental Flagship – to engage the public and connect communities from Albany to New York City with the Hudson River. Each year, thousands of students, educators, community members, musicians, and activists come together aboard the Clearwater to learn about the Hudson River and experience its majesty firsthand. Since 1969, more than half a million people have sailed with us.
During our sailing season, thousands of people of all ages join us on the Clearwater to experience the Hudson River. Opportunities include public sails, educational sails, and private/corporate charters, from the Capital Region to New York City. While aboard you will have the chance to meet the Captain at the helm to take a turn on the tiller, visit with Hudson River critters, and enjoy our traditional moment of silence broken by song before returning to the dock.
We also hope you will join us at an upcoming event, or support Clearwater through a donation or membership. You can also keep up with us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
