Click here to purchase your Pleasant Bay Pass!

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 your needs.  A pass includes access to our boat rental fleet and participation in community activities, such as flotillas, and informal racing events.

First time pass holders are provided with a skills check and orientation by our staff. Please note that a non-refundable $50 fee is charged while booking your skills check, so that we are able to reserve a boat and instructor for you. Your skills check fee will be credited towards your pass cost (you can either book in the office, or book online with a discount code). Please note that Pleasant Bay passes are not refundable once purchased. 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.

Upon completing a Flying Scot and/or catboat skills check, pass holders may access those fleets for their own recreation. 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!

 

  • Sailing season starts in mid-June and goes 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.
