The Rocket City Rowing Club (RCRC) is a non-profit organization founded by rowing alumni from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) in 1996. The club rows on the Tennessee River, primarily in a channel protected from wind and waves by historic Hobb's Island. The boathouse is located just south of the Whitesburg Boat & Yacht Club on Hobb's Island Road.

RCRC offers competitive and recreational rowing opportunities for novice and experienced rowers. Learn to Row opportunities are offered to introduce young people of all ages (12 and up) to the sport of rowing. We have an active Juniors (high school) program for boys and girls, and an active Masters Program for adults.

Whether you are an experienced rower or simply want to learn how, Rocket City Rowing Club has the program for you!
