Open Water Rowing in a Stunning Location

Come out for a Seaweed Row with DoryWoman Rowing during Maine Seaweed Week, April 25-May 4! Learn about Maine’s favorite weed and the importance of this wild crop in Maine’s culture and aquaculture, while rowing a wooden dory in Belfast Bay. We’ll do a row-by of a kelp farm. You’ll learn about a variety of seaweed in Maine and get to enjoy seaweed tea and seaweed-infused treats as part of this experience! You have the option to row or be a passenger (please note on booking form).

The Seaweed Row will be offered throughout Seaweed Week, in the morning and late afternoon sessions. This row can be booked privately for pairs/couples or as a mixed group of individuals. Pricing is $105 for individuals and $200 for two people (pairs/couples). Seaweed tea and treats are included in the price.

What to expect:
Your row begins with a safety talk, reviewing the different parts of the boat, going over rowing commands and getting seated properly and comfortably. Lifejackets (PFDs) are required to be worn on the docks and the boat. DWR will provide these–however, if you have your own PFD, please bring it. Dress appropriately for the weather (translation: layers!). Temps can vary this time of year and the wind can sometimes be brisk. Wear comfortable synthetic, silk or wool clothing clothing, wind resistant outerwear and footwear appropriate for the conditions. Bring water to stay hydrated.

DWR WEATHER AND CANCELLATION POLICY: Safety is DWR’s top priority. Rows are weather dependent. DWR will go out in a variety of weather conditions, including light to moderate wind, some chop or swell, fog, rain and snow. DWR’s client cancellation policy applies–please review.

Here’s to Maine aquaculture! Look forward to rowing with you!
