QUESTION: What does an ideal summer evening in Bellingham look like?

ANSWER: Paddling the bay during a warm, golden sunset.

But wait there's more! Let's include a crisp local brewski in one hand and tasty munchies in the other, hanging with old and new friends, talking and laughing, all with a fabulous waterfront view.

Sound good?

We agree, so we got busy and created FREE PADDLE TUESDAY.

Thanks to generous sponsors, you can now enjoy a 1-hour paddle rental (sit-on-top kayaks, paddleboards, rowboats, sea kayaks) FREE OF CHARGE every Tuesday from July 3 to August 14, 4:30 pm through 9pm. Bring the kids because we'll also have family-friendly activities and games, a rotating food selection, and for you beer lovers, a Stones Throw Brewery beer garden right here on site! Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Check your schedule this summer. Spend time on and around the water. Come down to the CBC and get to know your boating neighbors!

*Reservations begin at 4:30, and continue until all of our boats have been reserved for the entirety of the evening. Please note that our fleet is limited, and reservations fill quickly.

*Additionally, due to our limited fleet, we are closing standard rentals for each Tuesday, July 3 - August 14, from 4pm - 10pm. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

*Children ages 6 and up are able to join in the fun on the water, they just have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian if they are under 18 years of age.

This evening series is designed to help reduce barriers to getting on the water and experiencing Bellingham Bay.

The goal is to encourage folks to paddle our beautiful bay, enjoy fellow boating enthusiasts, and hang around afterwards for games, fellowship, and the pleasure of the waterfront.
