Group Rates & Reservations

Reservations are available for groups renting eight boats or more, or for events with guiding/instruction. If you are renting fewer than eight boats, just come down — boats come off the water as quickly as they are going out, so it’s rare that you are waiting more than 30 minutes and often less at our quieter sites.

All reservations require pre-payment. Examine our policy below, get an Instant Quote for your group, and please call (617) 965-5110 or e-mail us if you have questions.

Kids’ groups will need a sufficient number of adults to accompany their group on the water. See our maximum child-to-adult ratios for details.

 


Special Rates for School Groups (K-12) and Camps

  • When renting 8-9 boats: 20% off regular rates.
  • When renting 10-14 boats: 40% off regular rates.
  • When renting 15 boats or more: 50% off regular rates.
  • No discounts are offered during our peak hours of 11am to 5pm on Weekends and Holidays.
  • Customized instruction is available for $105/hour or $380/day per instructor.
  • For unguided groups see our child-to-adult ratios for details.

Don’t let cost be a deterrent for your group! For people with disabilities or anyone who needs help getting out on the water,  email us at events@paddleboston.com to learn about our grant program.
