Gig rowing is a lively, salt-sprayed sport rooted in the traditional wooden pilot gigs once used to guide ships to shore. These six-oared boats still carry that sense of adventure—just with a lot more fun and far fewer emergencies.

​

Modern gig rowing is all about teamwork and energy. Crews train to find their rhythm, then take on races where tides, wind, and the odd cheeky wave keep things exciting. Regattas are spirited, social, and full of character.

​

Most of all, gig rowing is welcoming. Whether you’re after fitness, fresh air, or friendly competition, you’ll find a community that cheers you on and makes every outing on the water a good one.
