Head out onto the water whenever it suits you best! A single rental of a city rowing boat is an effortless and low-threshold way to enjoy Helsinki's magnificent archipelago. A traditional rowing boat offers a peaceful, ecological, and independent way to explore local nature, head out for a picnic or a sauna, or try your luck at fishing.
Single rentals always open 3 days prior to the booking time. Reservations start on the 15th of June 2026.
Rent a rowing boat and explore the Eastern Helsinki Archipelago
The city rowing boat is designed for everyone who enjoys maritime Helsinki. It is a stable and easy-to-use watercraft that requires no prior boating experience. You can fit a rowing trip into your summer day just when the call of the sea is strongest.
Effortlessness: Booking is done digitally, and the boat will be ready and waiting at your chosen location.
All equipment included: In addition to the rowing boat, the rental includes oars and life jackets to ensure safety for all rowers.
Closeness to nature: Rowing is quiet and emission-free – you can get close to nature without disturbing it.
Location
Vuosaari Paddling Center: Offers sheltered waters and wonderful routes into the heart of the inner archipelago.
Row to the sauna and excursion destinations
A rowing boat is the perfect connector to the archipelago's recreational destinations. Many of the new archipelago saunas in Eastern Helsinki are best and most atmospherically reached precisely by rowing. At the same time, it is excellent exercise that crowns a sauna trip or a picnic on a deserted island.
