Learn to Row

We run Adult Learn to Row Programs in the Spring, Summer and Fall season and private lessons all year round. We welcome all adults interested in learning about rowing. This sport is a wonderful activity, available to people of all ages. It is a challenging, rewarding, team-based sport, and it doesn’t hurt that we row in a beautiful setting on the Orchard Beach lagoon. Contact admin@pcrarowing.com for more information. FALL DATES TBD

Captains/LogBook Rowing

LogBook rowing is available to experienced masters who row in a single or double without coaching or supervision. LogBook masters pay a per season fee and are able to use club equipment for their row including a wide selection of singles, doubles and oars.

LogBook rowing is available to all individuals who have passed their Captain’s certification exam. Please note, there is a $350 membership fee if your participation is limited to LogBook Rowing. There is a one time $150 fee to take the Captain’s exam.
