Shared Harbor Day 2025

Uncategorized / admin / June 11, 2025

The HarborOps Education Subcommittee invites all boaters to join us for Shared Harbor Day on Sunday, June 22, aboard the historic Fireboat, John J Harvey!

This annual event is an opportunity for recreational and commercial mariners to come together and share their perspectives on safety across New York Harbor and our shared waterways.

We will navigate to hot spots of New York Harbor and cruise the Hudson and East Rivers with other boaters to discuss areas where the courses and needs of our many different types of vessels converge. Our guest speakers will share valuable insights and we’ll enjoy the historic fireboat and it’s powerful water display!

Sunday, June 22nd, 11am-2pm
Pier 66, Hudson River Park

11am to 12 noon
Dockside program and welcomes, free and open to all!

12 to 2pm
Harbor safety tour (free with reservation)

As a part of the Harbor Safety, Navigation & Operations Committee, convened by the US Coast Guard and the Maritime Association of the Port of New York/New Jersey, the Education Subcommittee works with commercial and recreational boaters, marine operators, and waterfront facilities managers to enhance mutual understanding and improve safety on our shared waters.

Shared Harbor Day, Saturday May 4th

It’s a busy harbor, learn more about sharing it safely!

Join us Saturday, May 4th from 9am-4pm at the Downtown Boathouse on Pier 26, Hudson River Park.

Shared Harbor Day is an annual event hosted by the Harbor Operations Subcommittee of the Port of NY/NJ Maritime Association, whose mission is to find non-regulatory solutions to safety concerns. This is a unique opportunity to meet with mariners from all disciplines and brush up on navigational safety at the beginning of the season!

We’ll gather in the large, indoor space of the Downtown Boathouse in Hudson River Park, but still be right next to the water for inspiration.
Feel free to dress comfortably for spending the day on the pier. If conditions allow, there might be the opportunity to go kayaking in the afternoon. If conditions allow, no special dress or equipment is required for kayaking, but you will want to be comfortable getting wet.

Thank you to the Downtown Boathouse and Hudson River Park for hosting the program and to the Maritime Association of the Port of NY/NJ for sponsoring our pizza lunch!

This program is free and open to all. RSVPs are not necessary, but are appreciated to ensure we have enough materials and refreshments.
