About Deganwy Rowers

Conway Yacht Club’s Deganwy Rowers was established in 2019 as an all-inclusive club that welcomes people who are keen to row across all ages and abilities. It’s a sociable and stress-free way to get some exercise while enjoying the stunning scenery along the River Conwy.

We have easy launching onto the Conwy Estuary from Deganwy beach, next to the signal box. This protected position allows us to row at any stage of the tide and for rowing all year round – weather permitting! Therefore we can offer a full calendar of social, fun and competitive rowing.

Social Rows

We have regular rows for all abilities and interests in the Conwy Estuary, up-river and out into the bay.

Typically 6 sessions over weekends and weekdays, these are our regular rowing outings where crews get the chance to practice rowing techniques in a relaxed scenario and have some fun and chatty 1 hour sessions on the water rowing with friends

Adventure Rows

Ready for something different? Our adventure rows are extra social rowing events, that may involve the challenge of rowing a bit further, exploring different waters, rowing with other clubs or just doing something a bit different; floating picnic anyone?
