Four Swan Boat Rides for the 2025 Season
Enjoy a swan boat ride in Boston Public Gardens. The swan boat is powered by a single driver who pedals the boat while sitting atop a paddle wheel and steering with two ropes connected to a rudder. Each boat holds about 20 passengers and weighs about 6,000 pounds. The trip around the pond is one-quarter mile and a driver can navigate over 7 miles in a day.
