Rent a Boat in Harwich, MA

Perched on Cape Cod’s elbow, Harwich places you minutes from Nantucket Sound’s calm chop, the seal-rich flats of Pleasant Bay, and the wild beaches of Monomoy Island. One tide can cover sunrise striper casting, a sand-spit picnic, and a pastel sunset sail past Wychmere Harbor’s weathered shingled homes.

What to know

The most popular boat rental styles in Harwich include:

  • Center consoles & walk-arounds for chasing striped bass, bluefish, or hopping over to Chatham Fish Pier.
  • Pontoons & deck boats perfect for family cruises in Pleasant Bay or golden-hour loops inside the Sound.

If you’re unfamiliar with shifting tidal flats and Cape fog, consider booking a captain who can time the currents and dodge oyster beds.
