Founded in 1994, Cohasset Maritime Institute connects sportsmanship and the South Shore’s coastal heritage through human-powered coastal rowing. Today, RowCMI is a vibrant, inclusive community where people of all ages and abilities grow stronger—physically, mentally, and socially—on and off the water.

As demand grows, RowCMI is expanding access for youth, underserved communities, adaptive and aging rowers, cancer survivors, and more—strengthening individuals, community, and the environment.

CMI is focused on funding four key priorities:

Welcoming anyone to row, regardless of financial or physical constraints.
Enhancing programs and opportunities for youth.
Hiring the best coaches, youth and adult coxes, and shore staff.
Investing in our fleet’s continued growth and maintenance.

Our programs would not be possible without the support of our active members and families.

As a nonprofit, RowCMI relies on the generosity of our members and community. Cohasset Maritime Institute is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by IRS guidelines.
