This year, Launch 5 has committed to raising $100,000 to do some necessary maintenance and upgrades so we can continue to help the individuals and organizations that have come to us for solace and healing through the afternoons spent with us on the Hudson River. Donations made will go directly to that cause.
Rich History
Dedicated on November 18, 1966, Launch 5 has a long, rich history as a rescue vessel, helping others.
Committed Crew
Our crew are some of the most dedicated individuals around. We work with groups and individuals from all walks of life from special needs children to injured veterans.
A Beautiful Setting
The Hudson River is one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Its views are unparalleled, and on the Launch you have unimpeded views all around. We believe being on the water and immersed in nature is some of the best therapy. Check out the photos from some of our missions and see for yourself!
