Bring the whole family down and start Father's Day off right with a paddle!
Starting at the Community Boating Center in Fairhaven at 4:30 p.m., this event will be loosely guided, so you can focus on some quality family time while safely under the supervision of our guides. Choose from sit-on-top kayaks, sea kayaks, paddle boards, and row boats. There will be a quick on-land intro for those who wish, but the entire 3 hours will be open for free exploration along the bay with a safety boat on the water.
Dads join for free, other participants pay $30 each.
