Boat Oars

Aluminum Boat Oars for Dinghies, small boats and Small Craft

Oceansouth boat oars are built for real rowing — getting a tender out to the mooring, working a small boat across a quiet flat, or keeping a backup set stowed on an inflatable. Every pair is made from marine-grade aluminum with hard-wearing blades, so they stand up to saltwater, sun and everyday use season after season.

Whether you're after a dependable pair of rowing oars, heavy-duty oars for regular use, or replacement oarlocks and pins, this collection covers the full rowing setup for dinghies, inflatables, RIBs, small boats and small craft.

Boat Oars with Oar Stops

Oar stops hold each oar at the right position in the oarlock so it can't slide through mid-stroke. The Aluminum Boat Oars with Oar Stops – 2-Piece Split Shaft is our most popular rowing pair — a full-size, two-piece oar that breaks down for easy storage. For heavier, more frequent rowing, the Heavy Duty Aluminum Boat Oars with Oar Stops – 2-Piece Split Shaft steps up to a stronger shaft and blade.

Boat Oars with Oar Locks and Flat Blades

Prefer a removable oarlock system or more bite in the water? The Heavy Duty Aluminum Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with 1/2" Oar Locks pairs a heavy-duty shaft with 1/2" oar locks, while the Flat Blade Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with Oar Locks and Flat Blade Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with Oar Sleeves use a wider flat blade for stronger pulls.

Dinghy Oars for Inflatables and Tenders

For inflatable dinghies and small tenders, the Inflatable Dinghy Oars – 2-Piece Aluminum Rowing Oars keep things light and easy to handle, and the Telescopic Dinghy Oars for Inflatable Boats & Tenders collapse down even further for boats where every inch of storage counts.

Oarlocks and Replacement Parts

Keep your rowing setup tight with the right hardware. The Round Oarlocks 1.7" (Pair) and Oarlocks & Pins – Twist-and-Secure (Pair) are easy replacements for worn or missing fittings — often all it takes to bring an old pair of oars back to life instead of buying a whole new set.

How to Choose Your Boat Oars

• Match oar length to your boat's beam — wider boats need longer oars for an efficient stroke.
• Choose oar stops for a simple, secure setup; choose oar locks for a removable, pivoting stroke.
• Choose heavy-duty oars for regular rowing rather than occasional backup.
• Two-piece split-shaft oars break down for storage in a lazarette, dock box or trunk.
• Keep a spare set of oarlocks and pins on board — they're the first part to wear.

Marine-Grade, Built to Last

Every set of Oceansouth oars is designed in Australia and built for saltwater life. Rinse them with fresh water after use, let them dry before storage, and check the blades, joins and oarlocks now and then. Looking for paddles or boat hooks too? Browse the full Oars, Paddles & Boat Hooks collection.
