SUP Boston
• The Charles River is one of the best spots to go Paddleboarding in Boston. Not only will you see some incredible views if you decide to venture down the river; but it is also a great opportunity to have fun with friends. Paddle Boston (link below) offer group coaching and tours of the river on your SUP, this is great if there is a member of your group who isn’t confident on and/or has never used a Paddleboard before as they can be taught the ropes by a highly trained individual. They also have a rental shop which means you don’t need to purchase your own SUP if you don’t plan to become a regular visitor.

• Another stunning spot to visit is the Boston Harbor. Boston paddle also offers a tour of the harbor, but it must be for groups of 10 people or more (could be a good idea for a work trip?). You get to take an amazing route, after exploring fort point channel you would then take a short trip to the harbor where you can view Bostons incredible Skyline. All of this will be accompanied by stories of Boston’s history from your local tour guide.
