Founded in 1987, Whitehall Rowing & Sail was the first to produce boat models that combine slide seat rowing systems, usually found in a racing shell, with the famous Whitehall lines that represent hundreds of years of design evolution.
Based on the legendary Whitehall row boats, these seaworthy and safe designs perform beautifully in all conditions and always bring a smile of approval to those who know boats. Over 2000 of our custom classics are owned by rowing and sailing enthusiasts around the world.
Our philosophy is that a boat should be a lifelong asset for personal and family pleasure, stand up to rigorous usage and be built to last generations.
We are proud to introduce the Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™and the Tango 17™. Both models retain all of the rowing performance of our hand built classics, are lighter and more affordable. More people can now enjoy the fun and fitness benefits of slide seat rowing!
