We are the oldest and the only rowing school in the nation where you can receive the best individualized rowing and sculling instruction with the most fun, courteous and skilled staff, while at the same time trying all the best open water rowing shells and sliding seat family boats side by side.

Off site instruction and demonstration……$895 for an onsite lesson for one person, which consists of a minimum of a two hour novice lesson. Mileage and travel time to your location are billed separately and in addition to the $895 on-site fee. Additional boats brought for the individual student or for additional people taught require an additional $150 per person, per boat. Maximum number of boats transported will be set at 4 boats unless requested well in advance. Boats that are of interest must be specified at the time the appointment is made. For a new one boat purchase and a novice or technical lesson in the boat purchased, pricing is $695 for the onsite lesson, plus mileage and travel time for onsite instructional service. If two or more new boats are purchased and novice lessons in the boats are also purchased then pricing is $595 plus mileage and travel time. Used boats purchased result in a reduction of the $895 onsite lesson fee to $795. All service requests must be accompanied by a non-refundable deposit before the boats are loaded.

We invite you to compare our lesson rates to those of other sports. You could easily spend $400 on a ski lesson by the time you purchase lift tickets, rent skis, and pay for the lesson itself. We don’t charge for the use of our equipment, and you’re certainly free to use the lake as much as you want free-of-charge. We charge only for our instructor’s time and for our expense of renting the shoreline where we teach.
