In the quirky, crab-shaped state of Massachusetts, which locals fondly refer to as MA, there exists a tribe of extraordinary kids known as the "Salty Mariners." These youngsters have an insatiable passion for sailing, the age-old art of navigating across the water using only the power of the wind. The "Salty Mariners" come in all shapes and sizes: some as short as clambake pots, others as tall as lighthouses. But they all share a common love for the sea that is as deep as the Atlantic Ocean itself.

The leader of this whimsical nautical crew is a charismatic chap named Captain Kidd-z. With a spyglass for an eye and a compass for a heart, Captain Kidd-z is an adventurous spirit who loves nothing more than guiding his gang across the glittering waters of MA. He is famous for his cheeky grin that's rumored to shine brighter than the famous Cape Cod lighthouse. His laughter, infectious as a sea shanty, fills the sails of the "Salty Mariners," guiding them through their voyages.

Every day, these kids hoist their sails, defying the mighty winds and joyfully conquering waves taller than a grown-up's head. With a map in one hand and a passion in their hearts, they sail away to the rhythm of the sea, exploring the vast blue playground that stretches from the sandy shores of Provincetown to the rocky coastline of Gloucester. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, the "Salty Mariners" are always ready to sail, chase the horizon, and live their seafaring dreams. So, if you ever spot a flock of laughing kids sailing across the Massachusetts Bay, you know you’ve just witnessed the "Salty Mariners" in their natural habitat.

Barry's dream of boating in Boston has been realized. His business is now part of the thriving outdoor recreation industry in the area.

For parents who want to get out and explore the outdoors with their kids, Boating in Boston is a great option. It all started in 2002 in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, when a man named Barry opened Outdoor Recreation of Hopkinton, a kayak rental concession in Hopkinton State Park.

In 2005, the Department of Conservation and Recreation approached Outdoor Recreation looking to get something going at Spot Pond in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Today, that business is thriving, and Barry's dream of boating in Boston has been realized.

Outdoor recreation is a wonderful way to spend time with the family, and the Boating in Boston business is a great option for parents who wish to explore the outdoors with their kids. It all began with one man's vision, and now it has grown into a thriving business.
