Rowing Boats

We have a VirusBoats or EDON rowing boat for you.

The VIRUSBOATS & EDON rowing boats, for sale here, are "go-anywhere" recreational boats. You can use them on rivers, lakes, harbours or the sea to explore rowing (sculling actually).  Whether you want an exclusive tender for your luxury yacht or an exciting boat for daily exercise, Ahoy-Boats has a vessel to suit you.

Watch the video for an introduction to the different types.

Steve Walker has 40 years experience of rowing and coaching and he sums up in simple language why you might choose one rowing boat over another.

The Yole is the most versatile of rowing boats. You can use it up-river or on lakes or even a sea or ocean. The same boat can be rigged as a single or double or as a single with a passenger.

They are lightweight so can easily be handled by their crew (single or double) and are ideal for transporting on roof racks or, if you prefer, trailers.  Their rigging allows you to make full use of your legs so you move quickly and you exercise your whole body.

Our boats are stable yet quick
 

These fast boats are not the scarily unstable craft you would find in the average rowing club (one false move and you are making your way to the tumble drier).  No, they are eminently suitable for the raw novice.  In fact, clubs buy them to introduce beginners to the sport so that they don't spend most of their time falling in.

More fun than rowing in a gym

If you have ever enjoyed rowing on an ergometer then you will enjoy the new EDON Training Scull many times more.  And with any of the boats we sell, you don't need to be an expert to enjoy the thrill of gliding through water under your own power.

Fast, lightweight & fun

This is what two customers had to say about their new Yoles

• "WHAT A BOAT TO ROW. It's brilliant!! I've been out in it 4-5 times a week since I've had it and I think I'm getting the technique slowly. There's quite a bit of interest in it over here so you may well have a few more orders next summer. I've had it surfing on 5-6 foot seas and it certainly is lively planing but the bow buried, which threw me a little. In fact I thought I'd be swimming but she pulled up."
• "Received, in the water and very popular. We are fighting to use it. It is brilliant, just what we needed, and no doubt will be even better when the weather gets warmer!"

Reliable, robust sculling boats
