Welcome to Cohasset Maritime Institute's Adult Summer Rowing Program!

The adult rowing season is Saturday, May 17- Sunday, August 17 . The seasonal fee is $375. If you haven't rowed with CMI and want to see what it is all about, try our four-session Learn-To-Row for just $75.  New for this year, the fee for (experienced) scullers is $188. Youth rowing (entering 8th grade and higher) is a separate registration.

 Adult Rowing Times

CMI offers a great variety of morning, evening and weekend rowing times.  Rowing slots will be filled in order of registration.  Please register no later than Friday May 2 to be included in initial slot assignment process.  Those registering after that date will be slotted on a best efforts basis.

Typically, adults row twice a week. The slots are listed below.  

When you register, you'll be asked for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices of days/time slots, and who else might be rowing with you, if you have pre-arrangements. 

 We will not offer time slots if there are not enough rowers for that time. The available slots, for all

experience levels, are as follows:

Learn to Row, test the waters!  

NEW SESSION AUGUST 9,10,16,17

SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS 6-730AM

SUBJECT TO MINIMUM/MAXIMUM NUMBERS

If you want to try rowing but are unsure about committing for the season, we recommend our Learn to Row ("LTR") program. We find that novices pick up the skill pretty quickly and soon are moving boats along in a smooth crew.  For $75, a new rower will be assigned to 4 designated sessions  at the beginning of the season: 

Dates: Sat 5/17 |   Sun 5/18 | Sat 5/24  |  Sun 5/25

Times: 6:00am-7:30  |  7:30-9:00  |  9:00-10:30  |  10:30-noon

When you register, you will be asked to pick  6 possible times for your four sessions in this two-week period. We will assign you to four LTR sessions.

If you enjoyed LTR, you are encouraged to join the seasonal program (paying an additional fee - the $75 counts toward the seasonal fee of $375.) Then you will be placed in boats with compatible rowers.  

Come to our Open House Saturday May 3    9-11am

Feel free to come to our Open House at the CMI Boathouse at 40 Parker Avenue to ask questions, see the boats, take a spin on a rowing machine.  Registration is online only, so it is not necessary to come to the Open House for that purpose. Feel free to contact CMI with questions.

CMI Safety Policies

CMI has important  safety policies which apply to every participant in a CMI rowing program.  Policies include requirement to sign a US Rowing Waiver, minimum levels of Rowing Fitness and expectations for Courtesy & Sportsmanship. 

Boats, Rowing and Scheduling

We have several one-person (“singles”) and two-person (“Doubles”) boats, plus three 4-person (“Fours”) boats, all especially designed for ocean rowing in the waters off Cohasset. 

Most members row about twice a week in cox’d Fours.  Time slots are assigned for the season by the CMI Program Director based on the members time preferences (on a best efforts basis) from the registration.  Some members form their own groups of four, or the CMI Program Director will help rowers new to CMI to join other rowers with similar interests and abilities.

Rowers must be pre-qualified for use of singles and doubles, which are then available first come first serve during CMI operating hours.

 

Program Fees

Seasonal adult rowing fee is $375.  This covers use of all boats plus the rowing ergs in our boathouse. Most rowers row in two scheduled 90 minute sessions per week in a Four.  Some members row less, some more, depending upon preference and schedule.

Learn to Row is $75 and covers up to four 90 minute instructional sessions to learn to row in a Four. This fee can be applied toward the full season if the rower desires to continue rowing past the initial four sessions.  The  Learn-to-row Add-on seasonal fee is $300.

Substitute Rower fee is $100 for the season and puts you on the Substitute list to row in a boat when a scheduled rower is not able to row at their appointed time.  The Program Director will make your name available for appropriate boats and crews that are seeking substitutes.  We are exploring an online system to improve communication regarding crew assignments and substitute opportunities.

Sculling fee is $188 for experienced rowers who row sculls only.   This is a one time only sale representing a 50% savings over our Seasonal adult rowing fee.   Experience is subject to certification by CMI.

 Payments for Fees may be paid by credit card, Paypal, or check.  Click the Register Now link below to get started!

Program Directors and Coaching Staff

CMI has great leadership on the water in 2014.  We have a great staff of cox’n coaches to guide our boats and rowers this summer.    John Liffman is our veteran director of youth rowing, and Betts Murray is CMI's Program Director.  

Save the Date! Cox'n Appreciation Night will be Tuesday August 12.  Always a fun event to wish your favorite cox'ns well!
