One shared sea. A tradition that keeps rowing.

Remar no Feminino is a project that encourages girls and women to take part in whaleboat rowing on São Miguel, Azores, through an adapted, progressive and inclusive approach.

The goal is simple: more people rowing, with quality, safety and a deep connection to the sea and whaling heritage.

The aim is to adapt the sport so that everyone can learn, develop their skills and keep rowing over time.

We row together. The tradition continues.
