Barking Crab Kayak Tours from Kendall Square

This tour is only offered as a private event. Please fill out our online request form to schedule your group.

Combine amazing skyline views with the excitement of paddling on Boston Harbor, add in a wonderful meal, and you’ve got our Barking Crab Tour! Barking Crab Tours begin at our T-accessible Kendall Square location and end with a short van-ride from the restaurant back to our starting point

We’ll begin with a quick introduction to kayak strokes, then we’ll launch our double kayaks and head toward the harbor, passing the Museum of Science, Charles River Dam, and Zakim Bridge before we pass through the locks into Boston Harbor.

Now in the world of salt water and tides, we’ll paddle to the Charlestown Navy Yard to view the U.S.S. Constitution and U.S.S. Cassin Young, then head along the waterfront. Wonderful skyline views, along with such landmarks as the New England Aquarium, Rowe’s Wharf (above), and Moakley Courthouse, await!

We’ll glide into Fort Point Channel, pass close by the restored Boston Tea Party Ship Beaver, and then dock at the Barking Crab. You’ll choose your own meal from their complete menu (which includes vegetarian and non-seafood options) and pay at the restaurant (be sure to bring a method of payment). Because we won’t be getting back on the water after lunch, consumption of alcoholic beverages in moderation is permitted.
