Join us on June 7 from 11-1 for National Learn to Row Day! Open to the public aged 11+, we open up our boathouse in Duxbury to people who have always wondered, "what is rowing and why is it becoming such a popular sport?" Events will include: Land Rowing on our Rowing Machines or "ergs", taking strokes in our indoor rowing tanks, taking strokes on our dock – we'll put one of our boats in the water against the dock and our members will help guide you through the process of taking strokes. You'll also discover a unique way to get out on Duxbury Bay!

Keep up the good work. We were so impressed with the entire experience. The instructors leave such an impression on the kids, and I can’t emphasize enough how impressed we are with DBMS programming.
Maritime Adventures
My child adored his classes, building confidence and skills. He even wanted to pursue private classes afterwards
Junior Rowing
My child is a small kid – tiny for his age and not always confident in his abilities. DBMS has given his a new lease on his skills and perspective to try anything!
Power Boating
My child liked being out on the water and trying something new. He is fascinated with science and animals.
Marine Science & Fishing
I think you have some great instructors and I’m grateful that we have the opportunity to go there this summer.
Junior Sailing
Honestly, my child was so happy at all times during both programs. The opportunity to be on the bay, learning new skills that build confidence, and the positive encouragement from the instructors in a safe & fun environment made him love every minute.
Junior Sailing
Peter and Harrison were wonderful co captains. We have been sailing with access sail for 10+ years and absolutely love it. It’s special places like DBMS that make our summer memories last. 5+ stars!
Accessail
Accessable Kayaking encourages mind/body integration — Fantastic, fun source of growth. Kudos to all who made this program possible!
