Buzzards Bay Rowing Club

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 offer multiple open rows.

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 Open Water Challenge

and Working Waterfront Race to those offered in Hull, Essex, Martha’s Vineyard and Plymouth. It is a great opportunity to meet other rowers and see some really beautiful boats and really beautiful waterfront communities. Come out and row with us 3 times before joining. 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! Membership is $100.00 for individuals and for an additional family member it would be another $75.00 then $50.00 for each additional family member. We have an Associate membership of $25.00 for those members who don’t row but like to take part in the other activities. The rates go down to ½ after October first except for the Associate that stays at $25.00 all year long. If you know someone who would like to learn to be a boatsteerer but doesn't row, his or her membership is free. We have a few of those. We are happy to send you a membership application or check out our website which has a lot of great information so be sure to browse around. www.buzzardsbayrowing.org.
