Recreational and Competitive Rowing

Kitsap Rowing Association is a 501(c)(3) Washington State non-profit masters rowing club dedicated to bringing recreational and competitive rowing to the Kitsap community. 

 We welcome adult rowers of all experience levels and ages to join us on the beautiful waters of Liberty Bay, Poulsbo. We love introducing new rowers to sweep rowing and offer several learn-to-row classes every year.

The club rows year round (weather permitting) and offers the only “dry launch” in the Kitsap rowing community. We row on Liberty Bay in Poulsbo and launch from a dock at the Port of Poulsbo Marina. Our indoor meeting room and erg facilities are located in a community space at Poulsbo First Lutheran Church.

KRA is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of social/economic background, race, gender, sexual identity/orientation, or ability, feel welcomed and valued. We believe that rowing is for everyone and strive to create a community that celebrates differences, promotes equal opportunities, and ensures that every member has the support and resources to thrive both on and off the water. We also recognize that this path is ever changing, and there will be missteps. From this, we will grow as individuals and as a club. KRA also stands with USRowing in their DEI initiatives and will watch closely their actions in order to maintain accountability with ourselves and the governing bodies.

We also acknowledge that our activities take place on the traditional lands of the suq̀ wabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). The suq̀ wabš, expert canoe builders and fishers, live in harmony with the lands and waterways of the Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ wabš live and protect these lands and waters of their ancestors for future generations as promised by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855.
