Our mission is to move cargo sustainably.

On the Schooner Apollonia, we channel the power of wind, tide, muscle, and traditional knowledge to move locally-sourced, shelf-stable products.  With each voyage, we create new connections across diverse riverfront communities and work toward a more resilient future. 

Since 2020, the Schooner Apollonia has transported over 200,000 pounds of cargo by wind, tide, and current

Our watershed includes the Hudson River, New York Harbor, the East River, Newtown Creek, the Gowanus Canal, Raritan Bay, the Arthur Kill, the Kill Van Kull, and Rondout Creek. We’ve hauled malted barley, coffee beans, lumber, flour, beer, equipment, cheese, pumpkins, apparel, cider, furniture, and much more. We also supply galas/events, deliver to food banks and pantries, and transport wholesale and individual cargoes, including our CSA-style Boat Boxes.
