After a two-year absence due to the pandemic, the Croton Yacht Club is happy to announce it is resuming its annual “Hudson River Day” celebration. The mission of the event is to promote interest in the history and ecology of the river, to cultivate future local environmental leaders and to promote, enhance and protect river related recreational resources.

There will be events and exhibits throughout the day targeting both children and adults, focusing on the history and ecology of the river. Events and exhibits will include: a seining exhibition where local marine life will be captured, displayed and later released; viewing tanks where local marine life can be identified and observed; hands-on exhibits for children such as toy sailboat making, fossil making; sail boat rides, and local artist displays and sales.

Free sailboat rides will be offered by Ferry Sloops aboard their 22-foot sloop-rigged Catboat the “Whimbrel” on a first come first served basis. There will also be a youth fishing clinic and contest sponsored by the Hudson River Fisherman’s Association and the Yacht Club.

For additional information please contact Dennis Kooney at [email protected] or call 914-271-6384. The Croton Yacht Club will be open for the 2022 boating season and is following all CDC and New York State recommended practices for countering COVID-19.
