ROW WITH US
We build high-end ocean rowboats for adventurers
Ocean rowboat O28
The Whaleboat O28 is a fully equipped, high-tech rowboat, with cabins, ready to take on any ocean. We are incredibly proud of her lines, and even more of the top quality build and engineering.
Life on board an O28 is easier, as she is filled to the rim with new solutions for older problems.
Open water rowboat C23
Whaleboat started developing rowboats in 2005. Our first builds were one-off ‘open’ rowboats, without cabins. Rowing these one-off boats ourselves for thousands of miles at sea armed us with deep knowledge about what makes a rowboat work well in all possible conditions, geographical and meteorological. This knowledge and experience resulted in the award-winning C23, the most versatile adventure rowboat in the world.
Our customers have rowed C23s from the North Sea to as far as the Banda sea, have surfed them down the waves of iconic European surf spots and camped on some of the most remote beaches in the world.
With the C23 you are assured to live adventure at its purest.

69 NMs! Most NMs covered in 24h of all teams. And that on a day without running downwind. That’s what true rowing is about! Go strong @Vandurmebrothers. #pureclasspurereward

24 days on the ocean.
Mentally it is heavy, really heavy, the guys are being challenged every single hour but they are stronger than expected. Eyes on the land of Antigua!
The countdown has begun and we all can’t wait to see them finish!

40 days left before the start!
Who hasn’t seen our boat yet?
Did you know that, as long as we are able to give power trough the stroke and achieve speed, the tip of the boat is designed to cut like a knife through butter?
