Swan Boats of Boston Public Garden | Since 1877

The Swan Boat story dates back to the 1870s when Robert Paget, whose descendants continue to operate the business, was granted a boat for hire license by the City of Boston.
Rowing a small boat in the Public Garden lagoon was a favorite summer pastime for city residents during the day and evening.
The Swan Boats are as much a part of Boston as the bean and the cod.
Robert Paget first created the Swan Boats in the Public Garden in 1877. The Swan Boats operate in the same pond in the Public Garden in which they have operated for over 145 years. To this day, the design for the Swan Boat has changed very little.
Each boat is powered solely by a driver, who pedals the boat like a bicycle. The boats are steered by pulling one of two ropes connected to a series of pulleys and a rudder. The Swan Boats remain a Boston tradition and symbol of the city.
The view while riding on the Swan Boats allows each passenger to enjoy the natural splendor provided by the 24 acres of the Public Garden.
