Massachusetts kids will get superstar treatment from the boating and fishing community in June as the state celebrates Kids Boating and Fishing Week.

The Massachusetts Marine Trades Association (MMTA) recently announced that Massachusetts Kids Boating and Fishing Week will take place June 7 to 15, 2025, with events in such places as Danvers and Quincy.

Massachusetts Kids Boating Day was established in 2017 to support kids boating events taking place throughout Massachusetts. It was made into a week-long event beginning in 2019 and renamed to include fishing.

MMTA officials say getting kids on the water in a safe and smart manner is an important element of the future of the boating industry. Over 70 percent of adult boaters started boating when they were kids.

One of the key objectives for Massachusetts KIDS Boating and Fishing week events is to highlight what boating and fishing industry organizations and businesses offer kids in the state and to introduce new kids to the water.

Businesses and organizations wishing to host an event during the week can register their event on the Kids Boating and Fishing Week website.

Previous events during the week have included fishing derbies, boating classes, and touch a boat events.
