Chelmsford, Massachusetts, offers a unique nighttime water adventure that turns an ordinary paddle into a luminous experience. From June to September, paddleboarders and kayakers can join Full Moon Paddle sessions that take place under the bright glow of a full moon. The calm waters of local lakes serve as the perfect stage for this tranquil yet energizing activity. As darkness falls, glow sticks and lights transform your boat into a floating beacon, creating a mesmerizing scene where the water shimmers with each stroke. This 60-minute journey allows paddlers to glide across smooth, reflective surfaces, immersing themselves in the soothing sounds of nature and the peaceful glow of moonlight. Participants are encouraged to bring snacks and drinks for an added touch of relaxation, making it as much a social event as an outdoor adventure.

SUP YO is a Seabrook, New Hampshire–based paddle sports provider offering stand up paddleboard yoga classes and guided paddle experiences along the New Hampshire coast and in nearby Massachusetts. The business runs 75-minute SUP Yoga sessions — including Rise & Shine and Sunset SUP Yoga — that blend traditional yoga with stand up paddleboarding to build balance, core strength, and focused breathing while practicing on the water. Rise & Shine SUP Yoga classes are limited to just 10 participants to maintain an intimate, focused setting. SUP YO also offers 60-minute Sunset Paddles and seasonal Full Moon Paddles (June through September). Sunset Paddles include provided stand-up paddleboards and beginner instruction, and guests are invited to bring snacks and drinks on board. Full Moon Paddles use Torch paddles for evening illumination and encourage glow accessories for a unique nighttime experience. Combo packages pair a 75-minute SUP Yoga class with a 60-minute sunset or Boston Harbor paddle, with all required equipment supplied for combo bookings. Outside Seabrook, SUP YO operates Boston Harbor paddles departing near Fort Point Pier and a one-hour Kids Paddleboarding Lesson in North Chelmsford, MA that teaches paddling techniques, equipment care, and includes games and swimming in a rain-or-shine format. Sessions are designed for all skill levels and include beginner instruction where noted, with small class sizes and clear session formats to make paddleboarding and SUP Yoga accessible and enjoyable for coastal visitors and local paddlers.
