At Georges Island, you can fish with Save the Harbor's staff, enjoy a story or song from Harbor Historian David Coffin, or just relax! 


Maybe you can catch some fish or crabs at the island!
On Tuesday (8/29) and Wednesday (8/30), please arrive at 9:45 AM at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion at 290 Northern Ave. to begin  your adventure with an interactive presentation about the harbor and the islands.

A few tips for the trip:
  • Snacks are available for purchase at the Georges Island Cafe. You are also welcome to bring your own bagged lunch.
  • All Islands in the Park enforce a carry-on, carry-off policy. Please bring a bag for your trash so that you can dispose of it back at the boat!
  • Save the Harbor staff will also be running activities including fishing, ball sports, and wrack line walks.
  • We welcome everyone, however these trips are geared towards ages 3 and up, so please plan accordingly. 
  • Strollers are allowed, but may be unwieldy on the boat and gangway
    The island is full of adventure: climb, run, crawl, play, or relax!
