Founded in 1973 by a group of dedicated enthusiasts, the Miami Rowing & Watersports Center is located on Virginia Key adjacent to the historic Miami Marine Stadium.  From the boathouse or on the water, rowers enjoy a breath taking vista of the City of Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay.  The protected basin provides two parallel 1,500 meter, 7-lane courses that can be enjoyed year round.

We offer a diverse array of rowing opportunities for experienced rowers, high school athletes, beginners, and for those that want to try rowing for the first time. Browse this website and Contact our General Manager to learn all that we offer.  We have coaching available for individuals and groups.

Our Youth Program is one of the largest programs of its kind in the State of Florida.  As a parent of two daughters that rowed at MRC during high school, I can attest that this is an outstanding program teaching far more than the sport of rowing.  Athletes learn individual and team competitiveness, achieve physical fitness, enjoy unparalleled camaraderie, and learn life lessons that will foster success throughout their lives.

We look forward to seeing you at the boathouse.


Yours very truly,


William R. O’Donnell
President
