Ways to Get Out on the Water This Season

There are plenty of ways to get out on the water with Independence Seaport Museum! Options include:

  • Paddle Penn’s Landing: Available this summer only as a group rental, explore the Penn’s Landing basin safely in a paddleboat with friends or family.  
  • Kayak Excursions: Get a new perspective on the Delaware River! Join our guides on a kayak excursion and learn the history of Philadelphia’s waterfront. Excursion lengths vary between 2 and 6 miles and can be tailored to suit group needs.
