Row Boats
How to choose row boats
Material
plastic or rubber. Each changes the hull flex and the care routine.
Sub-type
Outdoor Recreation and Boating & Rafting suit relaxed inflatables, Rowing Boats suit traditional rowing.
Colour
orange or yellow for being seen, black or green for blending in.
Storage
Storage at home varies by sub-type. Inflatable Boating & Rafting types stow small, other tags like Sporting Goods may not.
Skill
User skill: casual paddlers favour inflatable types, seasoned rowers look to Rowing Boats.
What's good
- Boats tagged Outdoor Recreation and Boating & Rafting are inflatable, so they fold into a small bundle for the car boot.
- The range includes Rowing Boats and Boating & Water Sports, giving both gentle paddling and active rowing choices.
- Plastic and rubber materials are both on offer, letting you pick the hull feel you like.
- Colours run from orange and yellow to blue/yellow for high visibility, while green or army green keep you hidden from wildlife.
Things to watch
- Plastic and rubber boats in this range are inflatable, so they need pumping up before every launch.
- Orange, yellow, and multicolor finishes show mud and scuffs faster than black or army green.
- Sporting Goods and Boating & Water Sports tags broaden the list but can mix in kit less focused on rowing.
- Rubber and plastic hulls need careful launch sites, as sharp objects can puncture the material.
Care & maintenance
Rinse
Rinse plastic or rubber hulls with fresh water after each trip.
Store
Deflate and dry the boat, then store it in a shaded, dry place.
Inspect
Check seams and valves on inflatable types before you inflate again.
