MAAS BOAT COMPANY

We are dedicated to getting people on the water in light, fast, fun boats. How do we do this? By building open water rowing shells tough enough for open water racing, yet sleek enough to enjoy on flat water. Five models are available: the Aero, our most stable and suitable for the roughest conditions; the Maas 24 (for rowers up to 240 lbs) and the Flyweight (for rowers up to 140 lbs) for open water racing; the Maas 27, a versatile and rugged flat water club racing single; and the Maas Double which is an unmatched open water racing machine.

Since it’s inception, The Maas Boat Company has lead the industry in innovative design, attention to detail, quality, and performance. Chris Maas revolutionized open water racing by building boats with minimal cockpit volume, fast, stable hulls, and lightweight, yet robust, construction that rival flat water racing shells. For over three decades our boats have been the choice of serious open water racers on both coasts. They are also prized by clubs for their stability and responsiveness which make them able and fun instructional boats for novices. Throughout the country you will find 20 and 30 year old Maas Aeros and 24s used daily to introduce newcomers to sculling. Given proper care and handling, our boats will last over thirty years in regular use (many even last this long when neglected or abused!).

We build boats we believe in.
