A rowboat, also known as a dinghy or a skiff, is a small boat that is propelled by one or more oars. It typically has a flat bottom and sides made from wood or fiberglass, with a slender shape designed for easy maneuverability on the water. Rowboats are often used for recreational purposes such as fishing, rowing competitions, or simply enjoying a peaceful ride on a calm lake or river. They can also be utilized for transportation in areas where there is no road access.
