Rowing boats in Singapore: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

A rowing boat in Singapore costs about S$60 to S$290 for an inflatable for one to three people, and about S$10,200 to S$18,200 for a wooden or composite rowing dinghy of 12 to 18 feet. The quickest way to current prices is a request on BlaBlaPrice, where local sellers reply with their own offers.

Many listings come from overseas sellers, so check whether the price includes delivery to Singapore before you compare it with local offers.

Registration and survey rules

A boat registered as a pleasure craft in Singapore must meet the Singapore Registry's eligibility requirements, and such craft must be surveyed once every three years against the safety equipment requirements. The maritime authority publishes the full list, so ask the seller whether the boat is already registered and when it was last surveyed. Rowing on inland and open water also follows a Singapore Standard code of practice for sporting activities.

Season and where you row

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons, so there is no cold-weather break in the rowing year. Rain can make open water rough or cut a session short, so plan trips for dry spells and keep inflatables dry when they are stored.

Sizes, delivery and what is included

Sellers quote wooden boats in feet (12 ft, 17 ft, 18 ft) and inflatables in centimetres (430 cm), so convert before you compare. Some inflatables include a pump and oars, so confirm what is in the price. Ask whether the seller delivers to Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, and whether a trailer is included for a wooden boat.

What to put in your request

Name the hull material you want, such as PVC inflatable, aluminium-floor, wood or composite, and the length in feet or centimetres. Give the number of people and the capacity you need, and say whether the boat is for leisure, fishing or training. Mention whether you want new or used, what should be included, and your budget and city.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the boat in your own words in the chat, and a photo can help. The AI reads your request, asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose who to exchange them with.
