rowboat

Small paddled vessel

A rowboat is a small boat propelled by oars, typically seating one to four people.

The rower sits facing backward, pulling the oars through oarlocks mounted on the gunwales.

Rowboats are used for fishing, recreation, or ferrying short distances: We rented a rowboat and spent the afternoon on the lake.
