Sailing

Already know how to sail? We have four Rhodes 19s, which are perfect small sailboats for beginner sailors, and for daysails around the UMass Boston peninsula.

Kayaking

We have 3 Bic solo kayaks and 4 Perception tandem kayaks. These open top kayaks are a pleasure for exploring the coves of Dorchester Bay and UMass Boston’s peninsula, and are versatile boats for use by beginners and experienced kayakers.

Sailing Lessons

Learn to sail – no prior knowledge of boats required. Start off with just an hour or two of instruction and build your way toward taking sailboats out by yourself!
