  • Update on Coach rowing.

    Due to a serious incident with Benny having a seizure whilst rowing and causing the boat to overturn, he will not be permitted to accompany members or guests for the time being for his own safety, as well as that of other rowers.

  • Rowing Lessons

    Whilst the Club has reopened for members to row, we are not yet accepting novices for rowing lessons due to the covid-19 restrictions. We look forward to starting this again in 2021 when we are all clear of Covid-19.

  • Manila Boat Club will be CLOSED until April 14th.
