Description

Specialties

The Community Boating Center fosters small-​watercraft education, access and safe recreation on beautiful Bellingham Bay. Affordable 24-​hour dry-​moorage for kayaks, rowboats, and hand-​launched sailboats is available throughout the year. During Boating Season (May-​October) the CBC offers rentals, youth camps, and skills classes in sea kayaking, paddleboarding, rowing and sailing.

History

Established in 2006.

The Community Boating Center is a grassroots, volunteer-​driven 501©3 charitable nonprofit founded to advance safe, affordable and accessible non-​motorized boating for all in Bellingham. The CBC is not a club. There are no memberships or dues. Season pass sales, much-​appreciated donations, plus rental and dry-​moorage fees, enable the Boating Center to provide the skills and safety education programs that are the core of the organization’s mission.

We have taken their kayaks out on three occasions now. The staff here is very friendly and very helpful and always have a great attitude. Would definitely recommend A day on the bay with a kayak or paddleboard. It’s worth the money

If we hadn’t taken a detour on one of our evening walks to Marine Park, we probably wouldn’t have found The Community Boating Center. We’ve been twice now to rent kayaks and have had a blast. It is only $ 15/​hour (single or double are the same price). So for $ 30, my husband and I can go out for 2 hours in a double kayak. You pay upon returning, so you can extend your trip if you want. You’re free to go wherever around the bay, just tell them the general direction of where you’re headed. Yesterday, we told them we would only be 2 hours but went further then planned and were out for 4 hours. They had no problem with it and to our pleasant surprise, they only charge for 3 hours if you’re out for 4… so it was only $ 45 for both of us to get out of the scorching heat and cool down in the water. They also have a volunteer deal that you can do a little sweat equity for free rentals. (3 hours of volunteering = 1 hour of rental). They offer several types of boat rentals, dinghy, rowboat, sea kayaks, sit-​on-​top kayaks, and others. A great place to support in the community– we’ll be back!

As far as sea kayaking is concerned, these guys are morons
