Private Instruction

Working one on one with an instructor is the best way to learn.
If you would like to improve your skills at your own pace, with personalized attention and a customized focus, we would be happy to arrange private lessons with an expert instructor. We recommend a minimum of a 1.5-hour lesson. We also offer a group rate for private instruction.
To schedule a private lesson, please use our private lesson request form.
Two-Lesson Package with Complimentary Practice Time
Book two private lessons (1.5-hour minimum per lesson) and prepay for necessary boat rental and get two free weeks of practice time at any of our locations (Boston, Cambridge, Newton/Auburndale, Newton/Nahanton Park, and Natick). That means you can come anytime we're open and take out a kayak or canoe at no additional charge! This package is the perfect way to practice the skills you've learned so you improve your paddling.
