💙 Two local nonprofits. One goal: helping more young people feel at home in the water.

We're excited to announce a new collaboration between The Floathouse Petaluma and Soma Aquatics!

From July 4 through August 15, participants in SOMA Aquatics' free swimming program are invited to continue their water journey with a free one-hour tandem kayak outing on the Petaluma River.

Swimming builds confidence in the water. Boating builds confidence on the water. Together, we're creating a natural next step—helping more families discover the joy of our local blue space.

Our Floathouse crew will provide a brief paddling orientation, help guests get launched, and then it's time to explore Petaluma's Longest Park together.

Swipe to see the available dates and times.

👉 If you're enrolled in the SOMA Aquatics program, your program leaders have the private booking information.

Thank you, SOMA Aquatics, for partnering with us to help more people discover the Petaluma River.

We're excited to welcome Live Fully Chiropractic as the sponsor of this Friday's Free Community Yoga on the Dock. 💙

Their mission says it beautifully:

"At the core of our suffering is a lack of embodiment and connection with the truth of who we are."

That's exactly what we hope these free community yoga sessions can offer—a chance to slow down, breathe, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy an hour beside the Petaluma River.

After class, you'll have an opportunity to meet Dr. Larimar, ask questions, and learn more about her Petaluma practice and her vitalistic, integrative approach to chiropractic care and whole-person wellness.

We're grateful to Live Fully Chiropractic and Dr. Larimar for helping make free wellness experiences like this possible for our community.

✨ Only 4 spots remain for Friday's class!
Reserve your place today at thefloathousepetaluma.org/events.

Water finds its own level. Water people find one another. We're here to help you find your inner water person. Because we are water people.

Since 2007, when we hosted our first Small Craft Summer Cam, we've been putting butts in boats and smiles on faces.

We know who you are, even if you don't, yet. You're like us. You find peace on the water and inspiration in the community that takes joy from the river and spreads that joy out into the world.

We know what happens when people spend time on the water: they reconnect—with nature, with community, and sometimes with a part of themselves they didn't know was there.

Maybe you're already a water person. Maybe you're still discovering your inner otter, heron, tadpole, or mallard duck!

Either way, we're here for you.

What's your water animal?

At the end of every Learn to Paddleboard class, we ask participants to share a word.

One recent paddler chose: stability.

Not just stability on the board.

Stability in life.

We spend a lot of time talking about paddle strokes, balance, and technique. But something else happens when you spend two hours focused on one simple thing: staying present.

You notice your posture.
You notice your breath.
You notice what happens when you stop rushing.

And sometimes, somewhere between launching from the dock and paddling back in, you learn something about yourself.

That's one reason we love teaching paddleboarding.

It's never just about the paddleboard.

We're told we have to spend a lot of money and travel to exotic places to have a fabulous summer.

But the truth is, we don't have to go away.

Time travel counts too.

Join Leslie Scatchard on the Petaluma River History Paddle and experience the waterway that built this town—from the river itself.

Paddle gentle tidal waters in stable kayaks while costumed historical characters appear along the shoreline, bringing Petaluma's past to life.

Part outdoor adventure.
Part live theater.
Part local time machine.

✨ All gear included
✨ Beginner-friendly
✨ Right downtown

Upcoming dates:

DJ Bish has set his schedule!

As anyone who witnessed his first gig on the dock (in May) can attest, this show is worth the walk down the ramp by the Balshaw Bridge. To make a full evening of it, rent a board, boat or water bike, or maybe a Hobie pedal stand up board (!)

We're thrilled to announce that he'll be setting the vibe for the following dates in our Saturday Sunset Series (when we're open late for all rentals).
June 20
July 18
September 12

Choose your adventure: Paddle to the music, or just stay put on the dock for the ideal outdoor concert! (Bring camp chairs if you're a crowd; we only have about 5 chairs at The Floathouse.)

Woo hoo! Let's get this (paddle) party started! DM us with any questions. Rentals available till 8:30 PM. (Last boat out at 7:30 pm)

Saturday, June 20 is shaping up to be one of our favorite days of the summer. ☀️

The longest day of the year calls for a little extra time on the water, so we're staying open late and filling the day with opportunities to enjoy Petaluma's longest park.

✨ 9:30–11:00 am
Summer Solstice Paddleboard Yoga & Sound Bath (Sponsored by our friends at Estuary, a curated shop for living, at 120 Petaluma Boulevard North)

🌊 7:00–9:00 pm
Upstream High Tide Paddle

☀️ Open until 8:30 pm for rentals as part of our Saturday Sunset Series

🎵 DJ Bish on the dock from 6:30–8:30 pm

Whether you'd like to start your day floating in savasana, paddle upriver on an evening adventure, or simply spend a summer evening on the water with friends and family, we'd love to see you here.

The best part of summer isn't somewhere else.

It's here.

Paddle into the sunset with us 🌅

This doesn’t happen often—when high tide and sunset line up just right, the river becomes something else entirely. Wider, quieter, glowing.
Savor it.

Join us for a guided Sunset Upstream High Tide Paddle, timed to ride the evening tide upstream into calm, lush stretches that are usually out of reach. Golden hour + high tide = pure magic on Petaluma’s Longest Park.

✨ Beginner-friendly
🚣 All gear provided
🌿 Calm water, relaxed pace
🌊 Route shaped by the tide

📅 Saturday, June 20 | 7–9 pm
6.2’ at 7:53 pm • Sunset ~8:30 pm

📅 Sunday, July 19 | 6–8 pm (final sunset upstream paddle of 2026)
6.5’ at 6:55 pm • Sunset ~8:31 pm

Two chances. That’s it.

It’s YOUR River. Come out & explore.
