Boston

Reserve Online Get Directions

Rent a Canoe, Paddleboard or Kayak in Boston and enjoy one of the most scenic sections of urban river in the country.

Paddle upstream towards watertown and you’ll get quiet tree lined riverbanks and historic boathouses. Paddle downstream towards downtown Boston to see local colleges (Harvard, M.I.T., and B.U.) the Esplanade, and Boston skyline. Make sure to stop for a picnic along the way!

This nine-mile stretch of river has no current, allowing easy round trips. However, renters can also enjoy one-way trips to or from our Cambridge location in Kendall Square — a unique way to see the city!

One Way Rentals

What could be better than a one-way trip on the Charles River between our locations on Soldier’s Field Road in Allston/Brighton and Kendall Square in Cambridge!?

It’s just a 5-mile trip between the two rental centers, and you can travel in either direction. On the way, you’ll pass pretty tree lined riverbanks, Harvard University, Boston University, the Esplanade and Hatch Shell, MIT, and the classic Boston skyline view of the Hancock and Prudential Buildings and the State House Dome! Be sure to paddle through the Esplanade along the way.
