ROW WITH US
We build high-end ocean rowboats for adventurers
Ocean rowing boat O28
The Whaleboat O28 is a fully equipped, high-tech ocean rowing boat, 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 common ocean rowing challenges.
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.

Passing by whaleboat_boatbuilding where the top half of the boat is built! At least the construction of the boat is not stopped during these crazy times. This is the boat koendegezelle, Gijs and I will be crossing the ocean with!

Fresh proteins for the boys!
They found a dead flying fish on board and decided to eat it. First solid food in 28 days, Damien and Bernard couldn’t be happier!

Read about @jelleveyt and his human powered #7summits adventure this week in @knackweekend , one of Belgium’s leading lifestyle mags. Jelle chose a Whaleboat C23 rowing boat for the Indonesia leg of the challenge, to reach Carstensz Pyramid in Papua. We provided the ocean rowing experience and rowed with him in one of the most remote areas of the world. Now a long term friendship with many more adventures to come.

The boys had a rough first 24h. They got caught up in strong underwater currents, which was almost impossible to get out of. Because of the currents combined with heavy weather conditions, Damien en Bernard both suffered from seasickness. Luckily the weather got better and they were able to get on the right track. The boys were thrown into the adventure but lessons are learned and they made the best comeback possible! At the moment they’re in 3rd place of the duo teams and 21rst in total. Follow them through the YB races app.

The boat is here, we're ready to go! Special thanks to all people supporting me in doing this and especially Cak Mancal for arranging the transport here! Excited to start the first rowing km's of this vayamundo7summits! Tomorrow the boat will be baptised in the Indonesian waters! Follow for more action 😉

Whaleboat ocean rowboats are constructed with only carbon fibre as reinforcing material. Not only because carbon fibre is extremely stiff - three times stiffer than steel for the same weight. But also because in combination with epoxy, carbon fibre creates a much more durable product than the more usual fiberglass/polyester/vinylester combination.
It’s common practice around the market to add a thin carbon layer on old-school polyester boats. It sells as a carbon fibre boat, and indeed it looks like one, but it has none of the qualities.
At Whaleboat, carbon fibre is not used as a show element We work with the Japanese mindset: think beyond your own life span, imagine the future and try to create a product that will last several generations.
Who knows, maybe your grandchildren will ride the ocean in the same carbon boat you did!
