About us

Our Story

Boston Electric Boats began with a simple idea: make private boating in Boston fun, approachable, and eco-friendly.

After realizing how limited and exclusive boating options were in the city, we launched with a fleet of clean, quiet electric boats—and a mission to help more people experience the harbor in a whole new way. Whether it’s for a celebration or just a great afternoon with friends, we believe getting out on the water should feel effortless and be unforgettable.

Why We Exist

We believe Boston is best experienced from the water.

But we also know that private boating can feel out of reach—too expensive, too complicated, or too intimidating. So, we set out to change that.

Boston Electric Boats is built on one simple idea: boating should be fun, easy, and for everyone. Whether you’re a local looking to spend time with friends or hosting out-of-town guests, we give you the freedom to cruise Boston Harbor on your own terms.

Our mission is to make getting on the water feel effortless and be unforgettable.

What We Do

We rent quiet, electric-powered boats for private cruises—no boating license required.

– Self-driven or captained experiences
– Room for up to 12 people
– Bring your own food, drinks & playlist
– Scenic harbor routes and skyline views
– 100% electric = no noise, no fumes, no hassle

Every boat is simple to operate and includes a digital navigation screen with a preset route. We provide a thorough overview before you head out, so you feel confident and in control from the moment you leave the dock.
