Legacy Adventure Craft

Open Water Rowing Skiff for Coastal Exploration, Fitness & Family Adventures

The Legacy Adventure Craft is a versatile open water rowing skiff designed for coastal exploring, recreational rowing, and all-day comfort on the water. Built by Little River Marine, a leader in composite rowing boats for nearly 50 years, the Legacy blends classic craftsmanship with a stable, confidence-inspiring hull made for real conditions.

Whether you’re rowing quiet coves, winding rivers, lake shorelines, or protected coastal waters, the Legacy delivers the efficiency of a sliding-seat rowing boat with the stability and carrying capacity of a traditional skiff.


Built Strong, Light & Quiet

Each Legacy is hand-laid using high-strength fiberglass with optional carbon fiber reinforcement. The double-hull composite construction — outer hull plus fully molded inner liner — creates a structure that is:

  • Extremely stiff underfoot

  • Noticeably quiet on the water

  • Stronger and more durable than single-skin boats

  • Lighter and easier to handle than traditional rowboats

This is a low-maintenance composite rowing boat built for years of regular use.


Stable, Seaworthy & Easy to Handle

The Legacy’s modern hull shape provides excellent stability, making it ideal for:

  • Recreational rowers

  • Fitness rowing

  • Beginners learning sliding-seat technique

  • Photographers, anglers, and nature explorers

You can step in with confidence, move around comfortably, and row efficiently without the constant balance demands of narrow racing shells.


Innovative Fold-In Rigger System

The Legacy features Little River Marine’s signature fold-in rigger arms, designed for everyday practicality:

  • Swing in when approaching docks

  • Use as handholds when boarding

  • Leave folded to support a boat cover and prevent water pooling

This system makes launching, docking, and covering the boat simpler and safer, especially for solo rowers.


Room for Passengers & Gear

Integrated passenger seating in both the bow and stern turns the Legacy into a true adventure rowing boat. Bring:

  • A friend or family member

  • A child for a shared outing

  • A cooler, camera, or day gear

From fitness rows to wildlife photography, shoreline exploring, or peaceful sunset outings, the Legacy adapts to the day’s plan.


Ready to Row

Oars are included, so your boat arrives water-ready. Flat-rate shipping by zone is available across the continental U.S., making delivery predictable and straightforward no matter where you row.


Designed for Real Life on the Water

With nearly five decades of Little River Marine boatbuilding experience behind it, the Legacy Adventure Craft is engineered for:

  • Durable, long-term use

  • Easy transport and handling

  • Stability in varied water conditions

  • Comfortable rowing over distance

This is not just a rowing boat. It’s a coastal rowing skiff built for exploration, exercise, and memorable days outdoors.
