All the best shells and accessories, all at one location, for you to compare side by side!
Since Adirondack Rowing began its business in 1970, we made the decision to provide the highest quality educational, informational, and instructional services for new and experienced scullers and rowers. We have kept to that commitment without fail. We have found, in every one of those years, that prospective and experienced scullers truly need a high quality rowing and sculling educational and instructional service before they consider purchasing a new or used rowing shell. All scullers who understand the importance of a quality educational and learning experience become happy, injury-free, lifelong scullers.
Our emphasis on the highest quality educational approach has resulted in our being the oldest and best full-service rowing shell dealer on the North American continent. Since our first sculling lesson in 1970, we have delivered unparalleled new and used rowing and sculling products for open water and racing shells.
We also offer the planet’s largest rowing shell rental program as well as premium, high-quality, individualized, sculling lessons for all levels of sculling. In fact, Adirondack Rowing was the first and remains the only company to have the rowing shells we offer and instruction on the same shoreline. No other full service dealer exists with such high quality services that we offer to the rowing community.
The best premium quality sculling lessons at the most affordable rates in the rowing universe!
We consistently and without fail provide our customers with premium individualized instructional sessions at affordable prices that includes value added items.
We have MAAS seats, footstretchers and all other MAAS parts in stock to keep your shell on the water this season.

In keeping with Adirondack Rowing’s over 50 year history of bringing the very best quality open water, recreational and racing shells to the same shoreline for rowers to experience, the Leo Coastal Rowing Boats and the GlideBoats are the clear choice to continue that tradition.
We are very proud to announce our new addition to Adirondack Rowing, the Leo Coastal Rowing Boat and the GlideBoat. These two boats hull design, exceptional quality of construction materials and craftsmanship, and highly appreciated beautiful design, make these shells the clear choice to add to our shoreline.
No one, guaranteed, will give you a better overall price plus essential extras, has a larger selection of rowing shells, or will treat you as well as we do before and after your purchase.

I just want to let you know that Bill, Dave, Gregory, and I all had a wonderful time rowing from Long Lake to Ampersand Bay in your Adirondack Guideboats last week. We greatly appreciated the care you took in explaining everything we needed to know about the boats and wheel-a-weighs, providing us with a repair kit (which did come in handy for retightening some bolts along the way), and instructing the novices in the basics of sculling. Please also extend my thanks to Karen for her patience in answering the many questions I had before the trip. M. Schleier, PA.
Just a note to say thank you very much for the great sculling lesson. Your class was what we really needed. We only wished that we would have taken it before our other lesson! We have never experienced such well thought out, practical and fun instruction. We learned a lot in the two hours and it really shows in our sculling stroke. Our friends at the club quickly noticed how much we had improved after we got back from your place. Thanks again and we are so pleased that we found you! S & L Paulicek, Pittsburg, PA
I can’t thank you enough for your service and treatment of me as a first time shell buyer. In gathering all information possible from every source on rowing you were the standout among all dealers and manufacturers. Unlike the others you were completely positive, definitive, very thorough and quick to help me out. This means a lot to us Alaskans because it is difficult to receive what we want in a timely manner. Rowers would be crazy to deal with anyone other than you. S.Anstin, Fairbanks ALASKA
Thank you so much for having my family at your Rowing School. We learned so much and had a great time! My wife and kids enjoyed the rowing so much! To be able to compare all the shells and family boats in one place is the way to go. You were so descript on the attributes of MAAS, Alden and Pocock that the decision on which shell to buy was easy. We plan on coming back next year when our son is old enough for his own shell. We know he will get the best shell for his needs while on vacation in the Adirondacks or almost anywhere else in the Continental USA. M. Kellerher, Madison WISC
