Four-Person Rowboat on Odiham Water: A Quiet, Hands‑On Hour with the Dogs Welcome Aboard.
Set out from Odiham for a compact, hands‑on row in a traditional four‑seat boat. This guided offering from Galleon Marine turns the simple act of rowing into a contained, sociable outing — one that can be as brief as an hour or extended to 90 or 120 minutes, and that welcomes dogs and provides buoyancy jackets at no extra charge.

Traditional Four‑Seat Rowing Craft
The trip centers on a classic four‑seat rowboat designed for a small group to share the effort and the view, offering a tactile, non‑motorized way to experience the water.
Buoyancy Jackets Included
Buoyancy jackets are provided free of charge, so you can concentrate on rowing and the scenery rather than sourcing life‑wear beforehand.
Bring Your Dog
Dogs are expressly welcome aboard these rowboats, making this an easy choice for owners who want to include their pet on a short water outing.

What the Experience Feels Like
You join up to three others in a shallow, stable traditional rowboat and take turns setting the pace. The outing is compact — tailored to one hour as a core option with 90‑minute and two‑hour alternatives — so the cadence is relaxed but purposeful: launch, settle into a rhythm of strokes, enjoy the quiet of the water and the company, then return to shore within the booked window.
