— Custom Trips & Boat Delivery —
Charles River Canoe & Kayak is happy to work with you to create the perfect outing for your group. The possibilities are endless — canoes or kayaks; on the Charles or in Gloucester Harbor; guided trip or on your own; top-notch catering and expert instruction; we can do it all.
For example, let's say your company wants a new group of employees to get to know each other. Bring them to our Newton Boathouse and take out a ten-person canoe. We can provide a guide to lead your team on a tour of the Lakes District and a catered barbeque picnic from RedBones or Blue Ribbon to end the afternoon.
As you can see, you are limited only by your imagination. So call us at (617) 965-5110 [M-F, 10am-5pm] or e-mail us for more information or a quote.
