Sunset over Hingham Harbor
The central draw is the evening light — a leisurely paddle timed to catch the sky as it shifts through color. The format is built to center the sunset as the experience.
A Compact, Guided Session
This is a 60‑minute paddle that includes a combined 10‑minute on‑land and on‑water lesson and loaner equipment so you can focus on paddling rather than packing.
Bring a Cooler — Make an Evening of It
Participants are invited to bring a small cooler with snacks or beverages aboard, turning the paddle into an easy, social evening on the water.
