Founded in 1990 by renowned rowing coach James Mangan, the Saugatuck Rowing Club (Fitness was added later) is the realization of his vision, shared by Dr. Howard Winklevoss, Club Proprietor, whose twin sons learned to row at SRC under Mangan’s tutelage. The 15,000-square-foot facility was built on an old freight station site and has grown over the years to include a fitness center, additional training space (Boathouse) built in 2002, and an award-winning restaurant (Boathouse Restaurant opened in 2010). The state-of-the-art fitness center is a bright, open, and welcoming workout facility with gorgeous views of the Saugatuck River. Personal training and group fitness classes are offered. Today, Saugatuck Rowing’s junior programs (ages 11-18) continue to bring in new generations of rowers. Novice programs introduce rowing to men and women of every age, including senior rowers and both newcomers and experienced oarspeople alike, including National Master’s Championships and U.S. Junior National Team selectees, in addition to recreational rowers.

The Boathouse Restaurant offers a vibrant and seasonal land and sea menu, a curated wine list, craft cocktails, and waterside dining. Catered affairs run the gamut from breathtaking weddings and milestone celebrations to corporate outings and community events.

Rowing – Fall Juniors Registration is currently underway.
