Rowing

Rowing at the Belfast Boat Club

We have a state-of-the-art boathouse and a range of boats enjoyed by both competitive and social rowers all year round.

Rowing is one of many sports enjoyed by club members, with many rowers participating in these other sports too.

If you have never rowed before, then you really don’t know what you’re missing. A sport for all ages. A ’controlled’ way to maintain fitness and enhance your competitiveness. Finally, relax amongst new friends in the bar and lookout for what’s on around the Club throughout the year.

There is a comprehensive local calendar of events throughout the year. Additionally, crews of all levels travel abroad taking part in events in other parts of Great Britain and Ireland and internationally as well.

Rowing is available for all ages and all categories, from Juniors to Masters. You are a Master (or veteran) from the age of 27!

If you have rowed before and are keen to just get back into it, you will see below the way forward. For others, it is easier and a more positive experience to join our recruitment/coaching sessions which are normally held twice a year, in the spring and summer.

It is quite possible to row as a single person (sculling). Normally when we run our recruitment/coaching sessions, we look to have at least 4 people in a boat building to 8.

Junior Rowing

Takes place mainly during term time.

Senior Crews

Organise themselves, forming Squads. They are always looking for experienced oarsmen or women to join them. See contact below.

Masters Crews

Organise themselves, forming Squads. They are always looking for experienced oarsmen or women to join them. See contact below

We will find the right rowing option for you!

Whether you have rowed before and would like to get back into the sport or you would like to try something new, get in touch and we will find the right rowing option for you.

If you are not currently a member of the Club, you will still be most welcome to take part in our rowing coaching sessions. A visitor’s fee of £8.00 is the minimum that is to be paid for each session. We hope in the end to encourage you to join this Great Club of ours.

In the first instance please email your details to rowingdirector@belfastboatclub.com
