Opening New Haven’s waterfront for adventure, discovery, and growth

Friday, January 20, 2023

Yale Conferences & Events had the pleasure recently of taking a tour of the Canal Dock Boathouse located in New Haven’s Long Wharf waterfront district. This is a wonderful organization deeply rooted in the local community that just happens to also have event space with spectacular waterfront views for rent!

Community Impact

As a newly formed non-profit established to bring the community to New Haven’s waterfront, Canal Dock’s programs introduce residents to paddle boarding, Dragon boating, kayaking and rowing, and are “designed to be affordable and accessible, particularly to low income communities and communities of color”. Their mission is to “connect people to the outdoors, the environment, a shared heritage and ultimately to each other.”

Spectacular Event Spaces

Canal Dock has various event spaces for social or corporate gatherings for rent and discounts are available for New Haven residents! Renting space is quick and easy as Canal Dock is already set up as a vendor in Yale’s system.
 
  • The Adee Room: 1,275 sq feet 
  • The Lanson Room: 3650 sq feet
