— Fourth of July Fireworks Boat Rentals 2008 —
A canoe or kayak on the Charles River is by far the best seat in the house for Boston's Fourth of July Fireworks. The State Police welcome boaters, and the view can't be beat!
Whether you are a couple looking to get away from the hustle and bustle or a family spending time together, we have a boat that fits! From single or double kayaks to canoes that seat up to five adults, our boats can accommodate you.
Two Rental Options
Launch and return to our Boston location on Soldier's Field Road in Allston on the night of the fireworks. The boat must be returned by 12:30AM on July 5.
Transport the boat by car from our Newton location. Launch where you want and return the boat to Newton on July 5 between 8am and Noon.
