Rent a beautiful Boston Whaler straight off our mooring in Cotuit — fueled, checked over by professional marine mechanics, and ready when you step aboard.
Big enough for the whole crew, famously unsinkable, and simple to drive. Ours is maintained year-round by a full-time professional marine mechanic, and it leaves the mooring fueled, inspected, and signed off before every single rental.

Every rental includes safety gear for everyone aboard, a full dockside orientation, and our on-water support — if anything ever acts up out there, the mechanic comes to you. Fuel used is settled at return, same as every rental on the Cape.
Pick your date, sign the rental agreement electronically, and you're confirmed. You'll get a checklist of what to bring (sunscreen, snacks, your boater safety certificate).
We walk the boat together at the dock — controls, safety gear, the chart of where to go and what to stay off of. First time out? We'll run a quick practice lap with you.
Sandbars, beach lunches, a slow lap past the yacht club. We're one phone call away all day, and we come to you on the water if you ever need us.
Cotuit sits on some of the calmest, prettiest boating water on Cape Cod — three connected bays, sandbars that come alive at low tide, and beach spots you can nose right up to. Your checkout chart marks all of it.
Home water. Moorings, oyster flats, and the village landing.
Glass-calm cruising past some of the Cape's prettiest boathouses.
The sandbar day everyone comes back for. Anchor, swim, picnic.
Long beach, shallow warm water, low-tide wandering.
Massachusetts requires a Boater Safety Certificate to operate a motorboat. It's a one-time online course you can finish in an evening, and it's good for life. Book first, then take the course — we'll send you the state-approved link with your confirmation.
You'll need your safety certificate, and then yes — the Whaler is one of the most forgiving boats afloat, and our checkout includes hands-on practice until you're comfortable. If we don't think you're ready, we'll say so and refund you in full. Nobody leaves the mooring unsure.
We make the weather call, not you — and if we cancel, you get a full credit or refund, your choice. If conditions change mid-day we'll call you in early with a pro-rated credit. You never have to gamble on the forecast.
This is the part nobody else offers: if the boat ever has an issue, a professional marine mechanic comes to you on the water. You'll never be stranded waiting on a tow company.
No — rentals stay in our marked local operating area (the three bays and near-shore Nantucket Sound). It's plenty of water for a great day, and it keeps you in cell range of us at all times.
A card authorization hold, released after the return walk-through. Damage pricing is spelled out in your agreement up front — no surprises, no haggling.
July and August weekends go first. Pick your day, and we’ll have the Whaler fueled and swinging on the mooring when you get here.
