－ What You Can Expect －
For your lesson, we』ll first concentrate on the basic stroke for rowing a prua (at the prow), in the boat without moving. We』ll then depart, and each rower in turn will get used to the stoke as we glide along a wide, quiet canal. We』ll then cross then into the expansive, open lagoon, where you』ll be encouraged to try rowing a poppa — steering the boat yourself at the stern, just like a gondolier. We』ll then return back through the evocative side canals back to the drop-off point.
If you have more than 4 people, just tell us, we can arrange for multiple lessons, and/or multiple boats. Please write us with your requirements and we』ll arrange your booking.
