Rowing at Port Fidelis

Rowing—also known as crew—is a lifelong sport that builds strength, endurance, and mental resilience. At Port Fidelis, our goal is to make rowing a lasting and meaningful part of the Port Jefferson community.

We are a rowing club based on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, serving both youth and adult athletes. Founded on the principles of loyalty, resilience, and dedication, we are committed to fostering excellence on and off the water while ensuring that the sport of rowing remains accessible to individuals of all ages and experience levels. Through exceptional coaching, meaningful connections, and a supportive community, we strive to make rowing a lifelong and enriching experience for all who participate.

From Learn-to-Row and Novice programs to Junior and Masters teams, Port Fidelis provides a clear pathway for athletes to learn, grow, improve, and compete. Whether someone is stepping into a boat for the first time or striving to reach the next level of the sport, our programs foster skill development, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for rowing.

Our mission extends beyond athletic performance. We believe that sport has the power to shape character and transform lives. Through structured coaching and mentorship, we focus on developing not only strong athletes, but also strong individuals and engaged community members.

At Port Fidelis, we emphasize:

• Accountability
• Teamwork
• Leadership
• Perseverance

These values guide everything we do, helping our athletes succeed not only on the water, but in school, at work, and throughout their lives.
