Community Rowing Program. Open to all Maritime Gloucester members 18 years of age and older, this program provides opportunities to enjoy recreational rowing in Gloucester Harbor. Rowers have unlimited use of three boats, two pilot gigs and a Banks dory.  The pilot gigs, Siren Song (30') and Gannet, (32)'
each accommodate six single-oar rowers and a coxswain.  The dory (16') can be rowed by one or two people.  The rowing season is from mid-April through November, with opportunities to row every day, typically in the morning or afternoon.  Rows are usually about one hour long and rowers sign-up for times that fit their schedules via an on-line sign up.  

There is a fee of $50 per year to participate in the rowing program, which covers the use of all necessary equipment except life jackets. While no previous rowing experience is necessary, all rowers must participate in a short orientation session prior to going out on a boat.  Those who enjoy competition have the opportunity to participate in a variety of races throughout the season.

The rowing program is an all-volunteer organization and members are encouraged to help with a number of support tasks throughout the year.  For more information, see;
