One-Way Trips Between
Kendall Square and Boston/Allston

We are currently not shuttling passengers between locations (except pre-arranged groups of eight boats or more), so public transportation is your best bet! It's about 10 minutes on the subway and 1.5 miles walking, including a one-mile walk along the river. Make sure to have walking directions from both our Cambridge and Boston locations!

One-Way Rental Fees	Per Boat
One-Way Rental Fee with Notification (if you notify us of your plans at check-in)	$10
One-Way Rental Fee without Notification (if you do not notify us at check-in)	$15

Paddlers must begin their one-way trip no later than two and a half hours before the destination rental facility closes. Paddlers who leave near this cut-off time should be prepared to paddle straight to the center, as there is little extra time for detours and stops. For current hours at the two rental centers, visit the Cambridge or Boston pages.

There's no current on this section of river, so the day's wind direction is more important for determining which direction will be easier. If the wind is from the north, northwest, west, or southwest, a Boston-to-Kendall trip will likely be better. When the wind is from the northeast, east, southeast, or south, a Kendall-to-Boston trip is recommended.
