Welcome to the Open Water Rowing Center’s Open Ocean Regatta.

The Open Ocean Regatta features two courses of changeable difficulty and with independent course of different length. Each course provides astonishing scenery with challenging rowing conditions of the San Francisco Bay through the Golden Gate and Richardson Bay. Separate event classes for open water rowing shells, FISA-compliant coastal racing boats, and traditional open-cockpit boats, provide competitive and recreational rowers the opportunity to self assess themselves in a supportive, fun-filled regatta.

The Open Ocean Regatta is also welcoming Stand-Up Paddleboards, Ocean Coastal C1, Ocean Coastal C2, Surf-Skis, to join our race on one of the world’s best surroundings for water sports.
