Vero Beach Rowing is Growing

“Vero Beach Rowing is a great asset for our waterside community.”

Vero Beach Rowing is a non-profit 501(C)3 organization. It is a community organization that has a mission “to promote and teach the sport of rowing to the community in order to develop physical fitness, personal character, and an ethic of cooperation through competitive and recreational opportunities.”

It is the club’s goal to bring the amazing sport of rowing to all residents of Vero Beach.

Our masters and junior programs currently run year round and we are always looking for new members.

We are working hard expand programs for the community and expose a wider variety of people to rowing on the Indian River Lagoon. As a community-based organization, Vero Beach Rowing provides a structure that fosters and sustains rowing among the broadest audience possible.

Vero Beach is an ideal location for visiting crews to train. We have plenty of protected water and our rowing site is only a few minutes from the beach. Our facility already has extra rack space for visiting crews to store boats safely.
