Vesper Racing Team

If you're looking to stay competitive after college, Vesper Boat Club offers a structured, year-round sweep program for men and women who want to train hard, race well, and be part of a motivated team. Based on Philadelphia’s historic Boathouse Row, Vesper brings together post-collegiate rowers who still thrive on the grind, the rhythm, and the rush of the starting line.

Who This Program Is For

This program is a great fit if you:

  • Rowed competitively in college and want to stay in the sport

  • Are balancing rowing with work or grad school

  • Want to race 8+ and 4+ at regattas like Head of the Charles, Club Nationals, and Canadian Henley

  • Are looking for a competitive yet tight-knit team culture

What You’ll Get

  • Year-Round Training: Structured practices on and off the water, aligned with the racing calendar

  • High-Level Racing: We target major regattas in both sprint and head racing seasons

  • Team Environment: Men’s and women’s squads train side-by-side, building speed and camaraderie

  • Top-Tier Facilities: Access to Boathouse Row, a strong fleet, indoor training space, and some of the best water on the East Coast

What to Expect

This is a competitive program designed for life after college. Most athletes are full-time professionals or graduate students who train with intention and show up ready to move boats. If you’re goal-oriented and want to stay fast within a supportive team, you’ll fit right in.
