FAQs
Do I need rowing experience?
No. Most of our visitors have never rowed before. We’ll get you going with a short, friendly briefing.
Can children come?
Absolutely, with an adult in the boat. Buoyancy aids are provided in all sizes.
Are dogs welcome?
Yes
What if the weather turns?
If we have to cancel for safety, you can rebook or have your money back.
Are you the Richmond Bridge Boat Club?
No. The Boat Club is a separate organisation. We’re the boat hire business — anyone can turn up and row with us.
