Fall on the harbor is the move
Fall in Boston hits different from the water. Cooler air, earlier sunsets, and a quieter harbor make it one of the best times of year to get out for a private boat rental.
Boston Electric Boats gives you two ways to do it: Be Your Own Captain if you want to drive, or a captain provided charter if you want to relax and let someone else handle the helm.
Family friendly and easy for all ages
A private boat rental works for mixed groups because you control the pace. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, or keep it adults only. Our electric boats are quiet and smooth, and your group stays together on one private boat.
Be Your Own Captain or choose a captain
Be Your Own Captain rentals start at $439 for up to six passengers, with options for up to 12 passengers. Your designated captain must be 21 or older.
Before you head out, we walk you through the basics at the dock, then you run a short on water demonstration loop so you feel comfortable before cruising on your own.
Prefer to keep it simple? Captain provided charters start at $639 for up to six passengers. You bring the people, snacks, and music. We take care of the driving.
Sunset views and peak fall scenery
Fall sunsets over the skyline are the main event. The light is better, the air is crisp, and Boston looks unreal from the harbor.
A few easy ways to make it a great two hours
Bring a playlist and keep it simple.
Pack drinks and snacks or add a charcuterie board.
Do skyline photos early, then just cruise and hang out.
Make it a date night, a family outing, or a small group celebration.
Book your private electric boat
If you’re looking for a fall weekend plan that’s fun, easy, and feels like a mini getaway without leaving the city, book a private electric boat rental and cruise around Boston Harbor on your terms.
