Life jackets and registration

A South African boating guide says rowing boats are generally considered unlicensed vessels, but you should always carry and wear a life jacket and check that the oars are in good condition. Small recreational vessels also fall under the general regulations of the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA), so read them before you take a boat onto a dam or the sea.

Boat standards to ask about

Boat building in South Africa follows ISO standards that are adopted as South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) standards for the industry. Ask a seller whether a fibreglass or composite boat is built to them, and ask for the exact measurements in writing.

Season on the water

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. Rowing in winter means colder water and warm clothing, so plan your first trip for the warmer months if you are new to boats. Test the boat in calm water before you commit, and ask the seller to show the oars and the seats.

What to put in your request

Name the hull material you prefer, the length in metres, the number of people, whether you accept new or used, the intended use and what is included, such as oars, a pump or life jackets. Give your budget in rand and your city. Ask whether the seller can deliver to your city, since a boat kit and a finished fibreglass boat are handled differently.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the boat in your own words and can add a photo. Sellers registered on the platform reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also look at kayaks or start a request on the home page.

Questions and answers

Do I need a licence for a rowing boat in South Africa?

Rowing boats are generally considered unlicensed vessels, according to a boating guide, but you should still always carry and wear a life jacket.

How much does a rowing boat cost?

Two- and three-person inflatables in the listings start at about R 749, while fibreglass and wooden or composite boats cost from about R 39,314 to R 90,491.

Are rowing boats built to a standard?

Boat building standards in South Africa follow ISO standards adopted as SABS standards, so ask the seller whether the boat is built to them.

Can a rowing boat be delivered to my city?

Ask each seller about delivery, because a wooden or composite boat may come as a kit, so check what is included.
