Come hang at Lake Merritt Boating Center on Saturday, May 20th from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm for a day of free boat rental in Oakland, California.

In celebration of National Safe Boating Week, Lake Merritt is offering free boat rentals and an open house. If past years are any indication, you can get ½ hour of free time floating around the picturesque lake.

Please note that rentals on free boat days are for ½ hour. The things you can rent that day include paddle boats, canoes, single and double kayaks, row boats, and sail boats. For sailboats, experience is necessary though, bring certification or you can pass a short test.
