Hey, boat spotters! Come to the turning basin this weekend to check out eight yachts that are scheduled to be here with us in Petaluma from Friday, August 21 through Sunday, August 23. It's going to be a gorgeous weekend, so get yourself downtown and take a gander!

As the days get shorter, and the changing weather adds that nice brisk feeling to the air, we feel inspired to squeeze the most out of the last few months of the year, especially on the Petaluma River, with its calmer autumn surface, and beautiful light. Let us add to your repertoire of sporting skills Stand Up Paddle Boarding! Join our Learn to SUP class (bring a friend) or, if you're a seasoned paddler, challenge yourself to our Intermediate SUP class, where our ACA-certified instructor will help you add speed and increased maneuvering ability to your paddling.
Don't delay! Sign up today!

Save this schedule for the days when you want to get in touch with the water, with yourself, and with the time we have together in community.

SUP Yoga at The Floathouse isn’t really about yoga, and it isn’t really about paddleboarding. It’s about the water. It’s about community. It’s about being who you are, as you are, with others.

From August through October, we’re offering two opportunities each month, with both morning and evening sessions. Come experience an ordinary day in a different way—without pressuring yourself to do more, achieve more, or pretend more.

Special session: Sunday, September 27, 9:30–11 am
Solstice SUP Yoga + Sound Bath, sponsored by our friends at Estuary—a curated shop for living at 120 Petaluma Boulevard North, with its back door on Water Street.

Life is for giving in to the moment.

It’s YOUR River. Come out & play.

The Floathouse is moving HOME — and we’d love your help.

And by moving, we mean actually moving The Floathouse.

At long last, our floating home is headed back to its original location on the Petaluma River, and we’re assembling Floathouse Crew to help us get there.

Each volunteer task takes about an hour. In return, you get the satisfaction of helping with a truly unusual community undertaking — plus some fairly excellent bragging rights:

“See The Floathouse over there? I helped move it.”

Because while boats and boards may be what you see at The Floathouse, they’ve never really been the whole story.

The Floathouse is about being HERE: on our river, in our community, connected to a place we share. It’s about people showing up, pitching in and creating something together that none of us could create alone.

This is one of those moments.

Many hands make light work — and a rising tide lifts all ships.

Come help us bring The Floathouse home. 🛶❤️

We’re delighted to introduce the sponsor of our next Free Community Yoga on the Dock: George Ulloa of George’s Sports & Wellness Massage.

🗓 Friday, August 7
⏰ 6–7 pm
📍 The Floathouse Petaluma

George’s work helps people reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, support recovery, and feel better in their bodies. His sports massage and bodywork can benefit athletes, active community members, outdoor adventurers, people who work on their feet—and anyone who could simply use a restorative massage.

We’ll have George’s business cards available on the dock, and we’re very happy to recommend him for sports therapy, bodywork, or general massage.

A few spots are still available as of August 1. Register here:

👀 Boat-spotters, here’s your river heads up!

The San Francisco Yacht Club will be cruising into Petaluma Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2, bringing a fleet of visiting yachts into the turning basin for the weekend.

Whether you're paddling, strolling the waterfront, enjoying a coffee by the basin, or simply curious about life on the river, it's always fun to see these larger vessels arrive in town.

If you're heading out on the water, just stay aware, be courteous, and share the channel so everyone can enjoy a safe and memorable weekend on Petaluma's Longest Park.

Many thanks to the Petaluma Yacht Club for keeping the local boating community informed about visiting cruise-ins.

It’s YOUR River. Come out & play--but watch your course!
