There's a couple of areas around here for easy water paddling. Hingham Bay or Duxbury Bay are good starting points.
What are you thinking of getting? Have you tried anything out yet?
I have a 12' LiquidLogic Manta Ray SOT. As I said, you're welcome to try it out anytime you'd like to take a drive.

Rockport, I travel up your way easy enough. Would like to have some company since I am still a newb even after two seasons of kayaking. I think we met at RISAA. You were with DadFisherman, right?

That's a good boat. Just be sure to water test it before buying. You need to just to be sure you're really comfortable.

Rockport,

The P13 is a nice boat but can be a bit of a wet ride. How tall/heavy are you? It is very stable, good paddle, and handles waves very well. You should also look at the Heritage Redfish as it is similar to the P13 but a drier ride.

Do not get the angler editions for any yak. It is best to take it for a ride and see how best to locate things, and the additions are easy enough to install.

Take it for a spin on a lake/pond (no gear in it) and purposefully dump it and try to get back in. Do it a few times so you get the hang of it. Worst thing to try for the first time when on the ocean in wavy conditions.

I fish around deer island but have wanted to explore south shore especially bass rocks area.

Have been fishing off PowderPoint Bridge in Duxbury the last few years, now have kayaks and want to start fishing from them. What are good launch points (i.e. boat ramps?) into Hingham or Duxbury Bay?
