We have done many things in Cambridge. This is a great experience. First 30-40 minutes is instruction and then real action on the water! Omar is a great coach. Explains clearly for beginners, encourages, supports. In the end, you get 3 hrs of good practice (don’t forget to eat solid breakfast - you will need your energy), teamwork and lots of fun! Thank you, Omar!

This is a great club and teaches you the basics of rowing really quickly and easily. It is a great activity to make friends and do community building. This was my favorite activity when I visited Cambridge. Will definitely come back when I have a chance.

We were a group of 8 friends, we received a very correct basic instruction and then we got on the boats. although it took us a few minutes to coordinate was very nice and fun. our helmsman Rosie was excellent. All highly recommended.
