Oars, Paddles & Boat Hooks

Oars, Paddles & Boat Hooks for Dinghies, Kayaks and Small Boats

The Oceansouth Oars, Paddles & Boat Hooks collection brings together practical marine gear for rowing, paddling, docking and retrieving lines — everything you reach for around ramps, marinas, moorings and anchorages. Whether you're fitting out an inflatable dinghy, carrying a backup paddle, or reaching for a dock line, this range is built for everyday US boating: aluminum boat oars, row boat oars and jon boat oars, kayak paddles, telescopic paddles, boat hooks and replacement oarlocks.

Boat Oars for Tenders, Dinghies and Jon Boats

A dependable pair of oars is essential on any tender, inflatable or jon boat. The Aluminum Boat Oars with Oar Stops – 2-Piece Split Shaft is the go-to rowing pair, with the Heavy Duty Aluminum Boat Oars with Oar Stops – 2-Piece Split Shaft and Heavy Duty Aluminum Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with 1/2" Oar Locks stepping up for heavier use. Flat-blade options like the Flat Blade Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with Oar Locks and Flat Blade Boat Oars – 2-Piece Split Shaft with Oar Sleeves give stronger pulls, and the Inflatable Dinghy Oars – 2-Piece Aluminum Rowing Oars and Telescopic Dinghy Oars for Inflatable Boats & Tenders suit compact inflatable setups. See the focused Boat Oars collection for the full rowing range.

Paddles for Backup and General Marine Use

A paddle is one of the simplest, most useful things to keep on board — backup propulsion, maneuvering in tight spots, or a compact piece of safety gear. The Adjustable Aluminum Telescopic Paddles shortens for storage and extends when needed, making it handy for boats, tenders, kayaks and canoes. For paddlers, the Asymmetric Kayak Paddle – 2-Piece Split Shaft with Adjustable Feathering offers a two-piece design with adjustable blade feathering that packs down for transport.

Boat Hooks for Docking, Mooring and Retrieval

A boat hook earns its place at every dock — catching lines, handling moorings, retrieving gear and fending off pilings. The Fixed Boat Hook – 57" (4.75 ft) is a simple, ready-to-use fixed hook, while the Telescopic Boat Hook – Adjustable 47" to 80" telescopes for compact storage and extra reach. The Boat Hook Head – Threaded Replacement is available on its own for replacement or custom pole setups.

Oarlocks and Replacement Parts

Small fittings make a big difference to how an oar system rows. The Round Oarlocks 1.7" (Pair) and Oarlocks & Pins – Twist-and-Secure (Pair) replace worn or missing hardware and extend the life of a good pair of oars — browse the Oar Components collection for more.

How to Choose the Right Product

• Choose boat oars with oar stops for a simple, secure rowing setup.
• Choose oar locks for a removable, pivoting stroke.
• Choose heavy-duty oars for regular rowing; standard oars for occasional backup.
• Choose a telescopic paddle where compact storage is a priority.
• Choose a fixed boat hook for simple reach, or a telescopic hook for adjustable reach.
• Check oarlocks, sleeves, stops and pins when maintaining existing oars.
