Tourism
In addition to all the sailing, rowing, and paddling by the locals, visitors are also getting out on the river. As a top ten destination of tourists, Boston offers an abundance of things to see and do. For those looking for a scenic tour on both land and water, there are the Boston Duck Tours, while the Charles Riverboat Company provides scenic rides along most of the Charles Basin. If you are looking for an experience closer to the water, rent a boat at one of the locations of the Charles River Canoe & Kayak. And if you already know how to sail, you can rent a sailboat at Community Boating.
