Mass KIDS Boating Day began in 2017 to support kids’ boating events across Massachusetts. As participation grew, it expanded to Mass KIDS Boating & Fishing Week. In 2027 it takes its next step: Mass KIDS Boating & Fishing Month, running throughout June.

​

Getting kids on the water safely and responsibly is essential to the future of boating. More than 70% of adult boaters started boating as kids. Boating is a healthy, family-friendly activity enjoyed by millions of people nationwide, and fishing is one of the most popular things to do from a boat. That’s why fishing is part of our name, and why June is our month: it includes National Fishing and Boating Week, connecting Massachusetts events to the national celebration.

​

Whether you’re a marina, club, dealer, harbormaster, or community group, we invite you to host a kids’ boating or fishing event during June 2027.
