Local Tips & Conditions
Boston's coastal waters offer surprisingly rich marine life viewing opportunities during the summer months. Water temperatures reach their most comfortable levels in July and August, usually ranging from 65-72°F, making a light wetsuit comfortable for extended snorkeling. Visibility typically extends 10-15 feet on good days, with partly cloudy skies actually providing optimal conditions as they reduce glare on the water surface. Morning sessions generally offer calmer water conditions before afternoon breezes pick up. For the best experience, arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to get properly fitted with equipment and receive a thorough orientation. Bringing a waterproof camera is highly recommended to capture encounters with sea turtles and dolphins, which are most commonly spotted during mid-summer trips. The relatively protected coves we visit make this activity suitable for beginners and those who may be nervous about open water swimming.
Plan Your Snorkeling Day
Your Boston snorkeling adventure begins at our convenient harbor location where Joseph will welcome you with a comprehensive safety briefing and equipment fitting. No previous experience is necessary as our guides specialize in making first-timers comfortable in the water. We recommend wearing your swimsuit under light, quick-dry clothing and bringing sun protection, a towel, and a change of clothes for after your tour. Secure storage is available for personal belongings while you're in the water. The tour includes transportation to the best snorkeling spots via our comfortable boat, all necessary equipment, and expert guidance throughout your experience. Children ages 8 and up are welcome when accompanied by a participating adult, making this an excellent family activity. Most guests are pleasantly surprised by how quickly they adapt to breathing through a snorkel with our step-by-step instruction focused on proper techniques.
