Whether you have a small team or the entire department is excited to try rowing, we can adjust our crew and activity planning to your needs. For small teams, we have standard rowing boats and arrange their competition in the same order. For larger teams, we can plan your team-building activity with longboats with higher capacity for a single session. They resemble dragon boats with their narrow and long structure and allow more people to row simultaneously.
What makes Golden Horn so unique?
Golden Horn was once a bustling commercial center for ancient Istanbul, and now it is a popular tourist destination in the city. For hundreds of years, it served as Istanbul’s primary shipping port. It is an entrance of the Bosphorus, with two rivers emptying into it at its far end. As a natural harbor, it is often regarded as the biggest in the world. As a result of its sheltered inlet region, it is an excellent location for rowing activity in Istanbul.
Is Rowing a Good Choice for Beginners?
In each of the team-building events hosted by Oskar Tours, a trained coach will be with you at all times, helping you through each step and urging the crew to work together to get the boat going more quickly.
A common misconception is that rowing is just about sheer arm strength – however, this is not the case at all. Power is mostly produced by the leg muscles, and technique and efficiency are more essential than strength. So, just relax, you can do it like everyone else!
For a rowing session, the event begins with safety training and briefing, followed by a trip out in groups to begin learning the fundamentals of the technique. Throughout the event, the crews are progressively brought up to speed, and at the end of the session, they line up against each other for a short-distance race.
