Boathouse Vendors
Since our facility was built to be a true community center, it houses additional vendor partners to join Austin Rowing Club in widening the appeal to the Austin community.
Boathouse partners would continue with normal business operations unless specifically bought out for their time and space. The cost for those closures will vary upon partners and the timing of event. There is the option to include partners into your facility rental as an added experience.
