Welcome to Angus Rowboats

Adventurers Julie and Colin Angus have explored more than 25,000 km of the world’s remotest regions using rowboats. They have drawn on this experience to design the most practical touring rowboats on the market. Rowing is not only the best low-impact cardiovascular sport (tied with cross country skiing), but it is also the most efficient way of propelling a boat through the water. Our rowing vessels are designed to be fast, seaworthy, and capable for multi-day exploration. Angus Rowboats provides plans and kits so you can construct your own high-quality boat at minimal cost .

When will the boats be ready?

Angus Rowboats have completed prototype testing and are in the final stages of development.

Kits and plans will be available in Fall 2009.

Using two prototype rowboats, Colin and Julie travelled from Scotland to the Middle East.

They navigated the stormy North Sea, crowded canals of Europe, lengthy Danube River, English Channel and treacherous Black Sea coastline.
