We began in 2005 with 50 members and one boat. We now have over 100 members, 3 whaleboats and 2 Concept II rowing machines.

We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We support our non-profit status with fund raisers and membership dues. We give back to the community in many ways, including scholarships to five local high schools, donations to various charities and volunteering our boats and services to the community.

Can’t forget to mention races… We participate in many races– from our own Onset Harbor Race to a variety of races around Massachusetts and greater New England, and in the past few years, internationally! We have rowers that travel and row in places like England, Ireland, and Portugal. It is a great opportunity to meet other rowers and see some really beautiful boats and waterfront communities.

We offer open rows 4 times a week. Check out the schedule because these change from time to time.

But that’s not all…...we do more than row. We have many members who participate in other activities including but not limited to kayaking, biking, running, rowing other types of boats and traveling. The members in this club are as social as they are active. We love a good party and everything includes food!

We would love to have you try whaleboat rowing! It's not as hard as it seems. You can row up to three times for free! After that, we have  a variety of membership levels available, and memberships renew annually. If you want to row with us, click on "try Rowing with us" and head to the "Open Rows" calendar. See you on the water!
