Canoe, Paddleboard, & Kayak in Cambridge

Rent a Kayak in Cambridge and Paddle in the heart of the city from our location in Kendall Square! Take in the great views of the Boston skyline and the Esplanade, as well as other nearby landmarks like the Zakim Bridge, M.I.T., the Museum of Science, and Boston University.

This nine-mile stretch of river has no current, allowing for easy round trips.

Our Kendall Square location also hosts our spectacular Skyline Tours and Harbor Tours — a wonderful way for anyone to see the river. We will not be offering one-way rentals from Boston and Cambridge this season. Learn more about our Cambridge Location in Kendall Square.

We have instituted new policies due to Covid -19, Reservations are Required.
