Deliveries
Boat Delivery Rates
Charles River Canoe & Kayak can deliver boats to any location. We offer two delivery rates: a small-load rate and a large-load rate. The rates listed below are per load, and are based on one-way mileage from Charles River Canoe & Kayak in Newton/Auburndale.
If you are renting the boats from us, the rate includes both delivery and pick-up; boat rental is additional, and we are happy to provide a trained staff to assist with people entering and exiting the boats, as well as provide a dry-land orientation, for $26 per hour. If no rental is involved, then the rate includes either a delivery or a pickup.
