Event Details

Thanks to our friends at 7×7 for tipping us off about the Embarcadero Rowing Club’s free recreational rows in the Bay every Tuesday evening at 6:45 p.m. and Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.

Anyone interested in joining the club or in the sport of whaleboat rowing and racing can come out and meet club members and take a turn behind the oars at the rec rows (the first few rows are free and after that you’ll be asked to pay annual dues).

The club uses 26-foot long whaleboats made for 10 people, which means you can meet a bunch of new friends through a little bit of teamwork.

Make sure to arrive early at the club’s launching point next to The Ramp restaurant and spend the night socializing and splashing around.

Top Tips:

  • Arrive early! The row boat sessions are generally limited to 6 non-members per session, otherwise there’d be so many people you’d be rowing in circles
  • Come prepared: No pants with pockets or rivets (they hurt the boat), no underwear or padded shorts (both lead to nasty blisters), and closed-toes shoes

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
