rowboats

Human-powered watercraft

Rowboats is the plural of rowboat—a small boat propelled by oars rather than sails, motor, or paddle.

Rowboats are typically open-topped and seat one to several people, used for fishing, recreation, or short-distance transport on lakes and calm waters: We rented rowboats at the park.
