The story of Boating in Boston actually starts in 2002, in our small New England hometown of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. That’s where a charismatic man named Barry began the boating vision by opening Outdoor Recreation of Hopkinton, a kayak rental concession in Hopkinton State Park. The word started getting around and the business grew and grew, bringing forth a community of water lovers. And soon B

arry was introducing sailing and summer camps and boating season passes to the park. In 2005, the Department of Conservation and Recreation approached Outdoor Recreation to get something going at Spot Pond in Stoneham, Mass. Soon enough, Outdoor Recreation’s boat rentals became a thriving business that continues today. In 2009, Barry sold his business to a group of friends, all who met within the boating community and shared a tremendous passion for the water. Together, they kept Outdoor Recreation’s vision alive and continued opening boathouses around their New England homes. They changed the company name to Boston Outdoor Recreation, Inc., also known as Boating in Boston and Boating in DC. After four years of continued success, the group set sail in search of new waters. In 2013, friends in Washington, D.C., reached out and we jumped at the opportunity to operate the Key Bridge Boathouse for the National Park Service, keeping the spirit of John “Jack” Baxter alive by continuing his vision of public boat access on the Potomac River. acquired Boston Outdoor Recreation, Inc. to bring its successful team to more waterfronts across the East Coast. Currently, Boating in Boston and Boating in DC operate boathouses in the greater Boston and Washington, D.C., areas. It has been an incredible experience thus far, and it’s a great feeling for all of us to watch our team grow and be passionate about what we do.

Thursdays like this don't happen forever. 30 percent off your rental at Natick Boathouse today, no code needed, just show up.

Lake Cochituate looks especially good this time of year. Feels like the right way to close out the season.

Last September, someone bought their season pass on a whim and used it that same weekend. No waiting for spring, no counting down the months. Just straight from the dock to the water.

That's still how it works. Grab your 2027 Season Pass this week and it's already yours to use, right now, this holiday weekend, at whichever boathouse feels like home.

Some things are worth starting before you're ready.

Comment 2027 and we will send you the link to grab your pass.

You bought the pass thinking about next year. Turns out it started paying off the same afternoon. That's the part nobody tells you, a 2027 pass doesn't wait for a new season, it works for whatever's left of this one. And somewhere between grabbing a paddle one weekend and pulling a sail line the next, you realize you never had to choose between the two. Paddling pass, sailing pass, both at once, both discounted.

2027 passes are on sale now. Comment 2027 and we'll send you the info.

Happy Sunday Funday. However you spend it, spend it out on the water.
