The Pleasant Bay Pass makes it easy for experienced sailors to rent a boat and get out on the Bay. We have several options to suit varying needs.
First-time pass holders must complete a skills check and orientation by a member of our waterfront staff, regardless of their sailing credentials. This must be done prior to purchasing a pass. Please note that there is a non-refundable $50 fee to book a skills check and that once purchased, Pleasant Bay passes are not refundable. A skills check in a Flying Scot is required to rent Scots and a skills check in a catboat is required to rent catboats. Those interested in only Sunfish and kayaks are not required to complete a skills check, but must be able to rig and maneuver their vessel independently and safely.
Upon completing a Flying Scot and/or catboat skills check, pass holders may access those fleets at their leisure. The Pleasant Bay Pass program offers several pricing levels based on how frequently an individual or family wishes to participate, ranging from a 5-use pass to an unlimited season pass.
- Our rental season starts in mid-June and runs through Labor Day. Weather permitting, we hope to extend the sailing season through September with a limited fleet.
- A pass holder must accompany guests and is responsible for the vessel. All sailors must wear a properly fitting, clipped/zipped PFD on the dock and all PBCB vessels. We will provide PFDs for your party, but you may also bring your own.
