Anything That Floats 2026: The Floats, The Fails, The Fun!

I got my toes in the water, my friends are almost overboard, and not a worry in the world!

Anything That Floats 2026 in Mechanicville brought wild homemade boats, great crowds, and just the right amount of chaos to kick off spring in the Capital Region.

 

The weather held out perfectly for a day of creativity and laughter at the 51st Annual Anything That Floats Regatta in Mechanicville, NY! Over the weekend, various teams launched their custom-built "boats," attempting to navigate a quarter-mile stretch of the Anthony Kill to reach the city dock. Which of these unique vessels was your favorite? Take a look at our gallery below!

Having watched this event for several years, I always find myself thinking I could easily build a successful craft as we wait for the start. However, seeing the brave people actually take the plunge makes me realize one important thing: I really don't like being wet.

What about you—do you believe you could construct something capable of floating that entire quarter-mile journey?
