Apollonia is getting ready for the 2026 season

what will you have aboard the june cargo run?

what summer river literacy programming will you join us on?


Since 2020, Schooner Apollonia has delivered over 250,000 pounds of goods, working out of 34 ports, partnering with more than 75 businesses, and training 26 sailors in traditional seamanship. Apollonia has not only demonstrated the viability of post-carbon trade, but the public appetite for experiential, purpose-driven maritime engagement. This season we will move cargo, train sailors and run river literacy programming from the Hudson City Docks in partnership with the Hudson Sloop Club.

How will you be invloved?


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.
