Capacity: 1 adult + 1 child or 2 to 3 children
Weight: Approximately 25kg
Seating: Integral watertight seat, with optional additional seating
Best for: Small ponds, lakes and waterways. Ideal for pond maintenance, recreational rowing and use as a lightweight yacht tender.
Why choose this boat? Slightly longer than our 6ft model, the 7ft Pram Dinghy offers a little more room and improved directional stability thanks to its small keel, while remaining lightweight and easy to handle, transport and store.

Seating: Three seats, providing comfortable seating and flexibility for passengers.
Best for: Medium-sized ponds, lakes and waterways. Ideal for pond maintenance, recreational rowing, fishing and use as a practical yacht tender.
Why choose this boat? Don’t be fooled by the extra six inches! Our 7.5ft Rowing Boat is a significant step up from the 7ft Pram Dinghy, offering considerably more space, stability and carrying capacity. With three seats and room for two smaller adults, it strikes an excellent balance between versatility and manageable weight. An ideal choice for customers who need a more substantial boat without moving up to one of our larger models.
8.5ft Pram Style Rowing Boat (£795)
Capacity: Up to 3 adults, depending on their size and combined weight
Weight: Approximately 34kg
Seating: Three seats, providing flexible seating for passengers.
Best for: Medium to larger ponds, lakes, rivers and sheltered waterways. Particularly well suited to pond and lake maintenance, recreational rowing, fishing and use as a spacious yacht tender.
Why choose this boat? Our 8.5ft Rowing Boat offers a noticeable increase in space and carrying capacity over the 7.5ft model, while adding very little extra weight. Its flatter internal floor provides a larger, more practical working area, particularly useful for pond and lake maintenance. The relatively low freeboard also makes reaching the water easier when clearing weeds or carrying out routine maintenance. With room for up to three adults, depending on their size, it’s a versatile and practical rowing boat that remains lightweight and easy to handle.
8.5ft Bow Style Rowing Boat (£795)
Capacity: Up to 3 adults, depending on their size and combined weight

Seating: Three seats, providing flexible seating for passengers.
Best for: Larger ponds, lakes, rivers, and sheltered waterways. Ideal for recreational rowing, fishing, carrying passengers and equipment, and use as a spacious yacht tender.
Why choose this boat? Our 8.5ft Bow Style Rowing Boat offers a different set of advantages from our 8.5ft Pram Style model. Its higher freeboard and increased payload capacity make it particularly appealing to customers looking for a more substantial rowing boat. The higher sides provide additional depth inside the boat, making it a practical choice for carrying passengers and equipment, while still offering the convenience of a lightweight, manageable dinghy.
9.5ft Classic Rowing Boat (£1250)
Capacity: Generous space for passengers and equipment, subject to the boat’s approved loading limits.
Weight: Approximately 40–45kg.
Seating: Three seats, including a central watertight buoyancy seat, providing comfortable and practical seating.

Why choose this boat? Our 9.5ft Classic Rowing Boat is the largest boat in our range, combining traditional clinker-style elegance with the practicality of modern fibreglass construction. Its generous internal space, excellent stability and classic appearance make it a particularly attractive choice for customers looking for something a little special. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely row, maintaining a larger pond or looking for a distinctive yacht tender, the Classic offers a wonderful combination of style, versatility and practicality.
