I called at least 3 times a little confused in the different stages of setting up the rental, and they were so patient, even explaining where to park at the meet up location. We were on the water for dusk at Webb Memorial Park and they delivered the kayaks, insisting on carrying them all the way too and from the water. They were so friendly, and this is a BLACK OWNED BUSINESS on their grind. All love and support.

We arrived 10 minutes before they opened. We waited for a few minutes after opening and one of the young men informed us he was going to the restroom before he opened. Once we signed the paperwork, it was quick, but, we were given very little instruction. Perhaps we should have inquired, but no real info was given. The employee did bring our kayak down to the water for us and assisted us getting into the kayak.

Little store on site with tshirts and bags for your phone to keep dry. Accommodated us without reservations which was amazing. Definitely a highlighted experience I recommend to all. Motorized boat was in the water with kayakers and they were going fast which caused us to bop around, was a bit scary for someone who can't swim in open water so keep that in mind if you're nervous around water.

The check-in process was very efficient. We filled out some forms in one area, paid in another, and then got our kayak in another. We went from parking to being in our kayak in about 5 minutes. Note that we got there about an hour after it opened so it wasn't that busy yet. We drove by later in the day and it was packed, so I'd say the earlier you can get there the better. It was also hot so water, sunglasses and hats are helpful. Kayaks are in good condition and it's about a 20 minute paddle south to the north end of the Narragansett town beach. There are also motor boats around but most were very nice and gave us plenty of room. There's lots of wildlife around especially birds so would be good for pretty much anyone. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again.

Other than that, it was a great trip! It's a nice mix of peaceful trees and city views. I also paddled through a sailing team practice, which was cool. The boats were in great shape. The life jackets were showing their age, but I guess that's what you get with rentals. They estimated 1.5 - 2 hours for this trip, and it took me about an hour. I docked a star from this location, because the workers didn't really seem to know what was going on when I returned the boat. I needed to let them know I came from the other location and the responses were "that's cool" and "okay" and "I don't know what to do with that". Turns out you have to check out in a trailer at the end of the dock and tell them, but no one seemed to know. Still a great trip!

Their season passes and Fourth of July rentals make the experience even better--highly recommend! _______________________________ I love being outdoors, especially on the water, and Paddle Boston has become one of my favorite spots in the city. I discovered them shortly after moving to Boston and working in Cambridge, and it has been a go-to ever since. Their kayak rentals are fairly priced and offer an amazing way to enjoy the Charles River with unbeatable views of both the Boston and Cambridge skylines. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Their kayaks are perfect for the calm waters of the Charles, not overly advanced but not basic either, just right for a relaxing paddle. I also love that they offer season passes for frequent paddlers and special rentals for the Fourth of July Boston Pops Fireworks, which is truly the best way to experience the show. While I typically take the T to get there, parking nearby on Main Street has never been an issue. If you are looking for a fun and easy outdoor activity in the city, I highly recommend Paddle Boston at Kendall Square.
