Group Rentals
Bring your group to any of our 7 locations in Boston, Cambridge, Medford, Newton, Somerville, Stoneham, and Waltham. Rent kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards and paddle on your own schedule, no guide required.
Reservations are required for groups renting 8 boats or more. If your group is smaller, just show up. Boats turn over fast, so you rarely wait more than 30 minutes.
