Pier 4 in the historic Charlestown Navy Yard is the site of Courageous Sailing’s not-for-profit sailing programs. As a method of bringing in revenue to fund our mission, we rent out the pier for events. With the option of daytime or evening, our popular past events include cocktail parties, wedding receptions and more. The cost to rent the pier for daytime or evening events ranges from $8,000-$12,000. The pier rental fee includes the cost and procurement of a one-day event license as well as access to and use of the event space, which is about 10,000 square feet at the end of Pier 4. This space is outdoors; which allows you to enjoy the beautiful views from all angles!

Our wedding day at Courageous Sailing was amazing! We could not have asked for a better venue! We loved this site because of the location and the view. It's an outdoor reception site with the option for an outdoor ceremony as well. We had a difficult time in the beginning since the site only has a limited number of event permits from the city of Boston. But we were persistent and the site received more permits. We also loved this place because it's a non-profit and we love sailing/ocean. However, 5 months prior to our wedding we learned that the tent on site is not covered in the $3500 fee for the pier. This was not clear in the contract. While Courageous Sailing was generous and gave us some money back for the confusion, the tent company, Peterson's Party Rental, only gave us 10% discount (roughly $400, peanuts to the cost). It was frustraing, especially since the tent was listed as an amenity in the contract and it was never very clear. Luckily it didn't matter for our day and it was worth every penny - but we aware of the hidden costs. Props to the office manager Lindsey for doing all she could to make sure we knew everything else we needed to know - but you have to do everything on your own. But you will be blown away on your wedding day with this venue choice!
