If you’re lucky enough to own a boat, you know the sheer joy of getting out on the water around Massachusetts.

There’s the fresh air, the blue sea, a whale sighting from time to time, a different viewpoint of our region and best of all, that feeling of total escape without actually going too far from home.

Not blessed with a boat? There’s still good news. We have a bevy of ways to get out on the ocean and enjoy it.

From whale watches to fishing charters to other, more unique experiences, there’s so much fun to be had, your boat-owning friends will want to join you. Consider these and welcome June (and summer!) with an on-sea adventure.

Rose’ On the Water: On the evening of June 21, the Spirit of Boston heads out for an evening cruise hosted by 90+ Wine Cellars that celebrates rose’, the perfect summertime wine.

You’ll enjoy a just-under three hour cruise that loops around Boston Harbor, taking you past Castle Island and out toward the mouth of the harbor.

You’ll taste all kinds of rose’ (and some whites), including the sixth edition of the popular 90+ Boston Rose’ release. There’s a buffet and full open bar, a busy dance floor overseen by popular Boston DJ Matt Toto of Groove Events.

Guests are encouraged to wear pink. The crowd is a blend of young adults, birthday celebrations, couples,

groups, older folks: everyone 21 and up who loves rose’, boating and our beautiful harbor.

Bay Spirit Tours, Hyannis: There’s so much to see and do in Hyannis. The Kennedy Museum, the beaches, the artist shacks along the waterfront and the seafood all make it worth a visit.

Bay Spirit Tours brings you out on the water in beautiful yachts to explore even more. You can choose a lighthouse tour, historic tour, a music cruise or your own private booking.

For a true Cape Cod experience you’ll never forget, book a sunset sail on Bay Breeze, their brand new and breathtaking 45-foot Lock Crowley-designed catamaran. It’s as if Bay Spirit Tours are your friends with a boat — along with an open invite.

Plymouth Beach Ferry: It’s back! — the once-beloved ferry service to and from Plymouth Beach, one of the state’s most beautiful shorefronts. Since beach access from land requires a four-wheel drive (and a beach sticker), and the crossover is often closed this time of year to protect piping plovers, the Beach Ferry is a convenient solution.

The ride there is fun, too. Offered by Plymouth Watersports, you’ll head out from the Town Wharf and toodle past all kinds of interesting boats — as well as the town’s vibrant waterfront and Plymouth Rock — and then head out past historic Bug Light for your beach drop-off.

The beach is wide and lovely, centered with sand dunes and looking out on Brown’s Bank, that lighthouse and Gurnet and Saquish peninsulas. Pack a picnic lunch and spend the day, then take that same ride back.

Commuter Boat non-work trip: Heading to Boston for dining, a museum day, a ball game or something else? Make part of it an on-water experience by taking the Commuter Boat there and back.

The MBTA-run ferries can be caught in Lynn, Hingham, Hull, Quincy and a few up-close-to-Boston spots like Winthrop. It drops you between the Aquarium and Boston Harbor Hotel, which means an easy walk to The Seaport district, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Faneuil Hall, and more. There’s a train station nearby and plenty of Ubers too. A ferry ride too and from just makes it more fun, and gives you a look at the coastline, the Boston Harbor Islands and of course, the city view from the water that Boston is famous for.

Martha’s Vineyard for the day: Sure, it’s known as a luxury enclave, but here’s a nice surprise: The Vineyard Ferry costs just $21 round trip for adults, $11 for children, and you can bring your bike for another $10. Leaving from Woods Hole, it has ample parking (don’t let being sent to a distant lot worry you; their shuttle system is excellent). For a small price you get a fun and beautiful ferry ride to and from an iconic spot — a perfect water day trip.
