Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing Week – June 7 to 15, 2025
The Massachusetts Marine Trades Association (MMTA) is happy to announce that Governor Maura Healey, LT. Governor Kim Driscoll and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have officially proclaimed June 7th to 15th as KIDS Boating and Fishing Week in Massachusetts. Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing week will take place from June 7 to 15, 2025. This vital effort encourages and promotes youth boating and fishing events around the state. This will be the seventh year the MMTA has promoted the events and timeframe. Currently, seven registered events are scheduled to participate in 2025.
One of the key objectives of Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing Week events is to highlight the offerings from boating and fishing industry organizations and businesses for kids in our state, and to introduce new kids to the water. Approximately 70 percent of adult boaters started boating when they were kids, and the MMTA recognizes that the more kids we can get on the water safely and smartly today, the better off our industry will be tomorrow. This year, one of the highlights of the events will focus on providing information about the new Hanson Milone Safe Boating bill, which Governor Healey signed into law in January. The bill will take effect in April 2026 and require a boating license for all boaters in the state.
