WATERFRONT
The Chequessett Club’s robust waterfront program stretches all the way back to the club’s earliest days in 1929. Throughout the years large fleets of sailboats competed in club regattas. Prize-winning fish have been landed from the waters just beyond our pristine, white sand beach. Generations of visitors continue to launch their water-based recreation from the Chequessett Club’s private beach-front facilities.
Anyone and everyone can come to the Chequesett Club and rent sailboats, stand-up paddle boards or kayaks. Our CPR, First Aid and state boating safety certified staff can provide training and guidance in the operation of all club rental equipment. Take a lesson or rent a boat. Your next nautical adventure awaits at the Chequessett Club’s gorgeous waterfront facility. Parking is always free in two lots adjacent to the street-level clubhouse. Walk down the driveway to the sand and visit us

RENTAL FLEET
Chequessett Club is working to make member kayak storage more efficient and orderly. We have 12 spaces available on the Clubs 2 racks that will be assigned on a first come basis. Two Member kayaks are permitted as long as they don’t interfere with other Members kayaks. We have also cordoned off individual spaces for 15 more kayaks on the sand along the western edge of the open area adjacent to the boathouse. The Club will assign these 27 spaces to Members and record the location space. Before leaving any kayak or boat at the Club, please contact Waterfront Director Harry Munns at (774) 840-1606 or dwscycc@gmail.com.
Rental clients will complete a short safety briefing and sign a liability waiver. All operators and passengers of Chequessett Club rental vessels will wear a club-provided, USCG-approved life jacket.
Chequessett Waterfront staff will assist boaters by safely launching and retrieving the boat.
