Annual July FitC Boat Trip
Join FitC members for the annual Walnut Street River to River trip around the tip of Philadelphia in the new boat LIBERTY.
If you have never taken this trip, expect to see Philadelphia as you have never before seen it.
Although it is exactly two miles on foot from the start to finish of this trip, we will enjoy a scenic 12 mile route by boat.
The highlights of this trip across town include:
Start: 4:00 p.m. PROMPTLY at the dock beneath the Walnut Street Bridge at the Schuylkill. That's when we'll set off! See picture above.
End: 6:00 p.m. at Penn's Landing on the Delaware River.
Cost: $32 per person
This is a discounted price, and it also includes a bottle of water and a tip. For more, there is a cash bar on the boat.
