The Mountain Bike of Rowing Shells

Echo Islander

TOURING, EXPLORING, AND OVERNIGHT ADVENTURING

Echo Islander

Echo Rowing builds open water rowing boats strong enough to handle most rowing conditions on the ocean, a lake or river. They are stable enough for recreational rowers but solid enough for most offshore or coastal rowing. Transportation and storage are easy with our patented folding rigger design. The boats can easliy be car topped and carried without the hassle of inserting rigger systems or cumbersome fixed riggers. The Islander is perfect for overwater exploring and camping. The Classic and the Sport are perfect for exercise, adventure and open water racing and recreation.
The adventurous sister of the Echo Classic and Sport, the Islander has the same hull design and features as the Classic and Sport, the patented folding rigger design, the same dimensions, foot stretcher, suction bailer, and deck bungees. In addition to the two 4” watertight cockpit access ports, the Islander also has two 7.5” watertight hatches that allow full access to both ends of the shell's ample storage areas. A six foot fishing pole easily stows forward with room for tackle or camping gear. Pretty much everything you can carry on your back can fit in or on the Islander. This boat is designed for all rowing skill levels. Finally, rowing has tremendous health benefits. It is low impact, is terrific for your cardiovascular system and burns on average 600 calories per hours versus a typical kayak or paddle board that burns about 350 calories per hour.
