We will be hosting FREE Orientations throughout the day. Orientation is the gateway to everything that CBI has to offer, whether you’re a seasoned sailor or brand new to boats.

Done entirely on the dock, it will include a guided tour of CBI’s boats and facilities, an overview of our classes and programs, as well as plenty of time to ask the questions that matter to you. Orientations will be held on the dock at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm.

Experience first hand the unique point of view of Boston from the Charles River! Guided 20 minute boat rides between 10am-3pm. No experience needed!

Free Raffles & Gifts:
First 25 people to purchase a Full Year membership in-person will receive a complimentary welcome bag! Attend any orientation for a chance to win a prize at the end of the tour. Chat with our staff at the welcome table on the dock and get a free raffle ticket to win items such as a life jacket, tickets to a dock party, private sailing lessons, and more!

Decorate a Sail:
While you're waiting for your boat ride, paint and decorate a sail with our Director of Youth Programs, Hannah! A fun and creative activity for ALL ages.
