As a recreational club who teaches proficient rowing of sea sculls for optimum enjoyment on the ocean, we are well aware that competitive school and university rowing has been taking place on dams and rivers in South Africa for generations. Since May 2011 a growing number of people have been participating in recreational coastal rowing in Cape Town too. This initially took place from the naval bas
e at Simonstown, then moved to our fabulous home base at False Bay Yacht Club. Regular outings to bodies of water elsewhere in the region, including the Berg and Breede Rivers, Langebaan, Churchaven, and Hermanus lagoons, Stanford and Stilbaai Rivers, Clanwilliam Dam, and Cape Point Reserve. And more recently as far as the Cowie River in Port Alfred. The Cape Coastal Rowing fleet now includes a range of quads, doubles and singles. This site provides updates on developments, learn to row program, and a contact point for those interested in joining in. No better way to view African Penguin, Dophin and Whales of all sorts along our routes. Often in our company are the friendly Cape Fur Seals, Southern Right and Humpback whales and the magnificent bird life of False Bay. Visitors are welcome for a moderate seat fee of R200 towards boat maintenance costs. Direct message, Whatsap Captain Peter Goosen on +27 83 281 8768 or email on [email protected]
