Renting a long boat 
We rent long boats for rowing events, company events, group outings etc. A long boat takes up to 14 rowers (and we recommend a minimum of 8 rowers). Each rower has one oar. A coxswain commands the rowers and steers the boat with a rudder at the back of the boat.
Long boat rowing is an ideal active team activity that takes you into pleasant surroundings. Mainly we rent boats from the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi by the Rowing Centre (Soutukeskus) at Hatanpää. Is is also possible, for an additional fee, to collect or leave the long boats at other locations.
