Our Story: Born on the Water in New England

A New England Raw Bar Catering Company

Rooted in the rich coastal traditions of New England, our story begins where the ocean meets craftsmanship. “Born on the Water” reflects our deep connection to the sea—where every oyster, every detail, and every experience is inspired by the tides. We bring the essence of the shoreline to every event, offering locally sourced seafood, refined presentation, and an atmosphere that captures the spirit of coastal living. From elegant gatherings to unforgettable celebrations, our passion is delivering authentic, ocean-inspired experiences that are as fresh and timeless as the waters we come from.

We honor the legacy of local legend Richard Mahoney by serving from his original 30-year-old dory boats. As lifelong farmers with deep roots in New England aquaculture, we source the freshest shellfish from Maine down to Duxbury, Massachusetts. What we deliver to your event is more than a raw bar. It is an authentic piece of New England culture, served on hand-restored wooden boats that carry decades of coastal history.

Oysters are a restorative crop. They filter the water and strengthen our coastlines as they grow. We are fully committed to sustainable aquaculture practices that give back to the New England ecosystem, ensuring clean water and a thriving habitat for generations to come. When you book Boston Raw Bar Co. for your wedding or event, you are also supporting responsible local seafood farming.
