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.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

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.

THE COMFORT

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.

THE PET‑FRIENDLY EDGE

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 day feels like

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.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small GroupsIdeal for groups of up to four who want a shared, cooperative experience on the water; the boats are configured for four seats and outings accommodate small teams.
2
Dog OwnersA straightforward choice for people who want to bring a well‑behaved dog on a short water trip; dogs are explicitly welcome on rowboats.
3
Active BeginnersGood for those who want an easy introduction to rowing in a group context; outings require basic physical participation but are short in duration.

Under‑16s & Those Seeking Solo ExperiencesNot a fit for unaccompanied minors or solo travelers seeking an individual boat: at least one participant must be 16 or older and trips are arranged around a four‑person craft.
