Welcome to the Halifax Rowing Association

Welcome to Halifax Rowing Association, Inc. (HRA) located in beautiful Daytona Beach, Florida. Situated in the park on City Island, our rowing venue is the Intracoastal Waterway known as the “Halifax River” which provides a rowing course in either direction for many miles.

We are truly privileged to row in such a beautiful environment - it is not unusual to see multiple dolphins jumping and manatees gliding during one of our early morning rows!

If you are a full time resident of Florida and wish to join our club, please see more information on the "membership" tab. If you are in town just for a short while, please contact us via the information on the "Contact us" tab and make arrangements to stop by for a visit or row. We can also accommodate custom short term membership privileges and training opportunities.

Learn to Row Day was held Saturday, May 30 and was a great success! Participants of all ages tried the ergometer rowing machines, the 8 person sweep rowing and the individual sculling. Our "Summer Sweep" and "Get in shape on the Erg" programs kick off on Monday, June 15 and still have availability.

In addition to our vibrant master's program, our boathouse is also home to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Rowing Club (ERAU) that competes on a collegiate level. Coach Paul Quinn is already talking with athletes about his fall program.

HRA caters to rowers at all levels and in all age groups, from beginner and recreational rowers to competitive athletes in the high school, collegiate and Masters categories. The club is constantly recruiting new members, hosts its own regatta every summer and stages a number of rowing programs throughout the year.

Membership in the Halifax Rowing Association provides access to the only rowing facility in Volusia County, a finger on the pulse of local rowing activity and entitles its members to year-round access to a variety of functions and events.
