Rannoch Adventure build state-of-the-art ocean rowing boats and offer ocean rowing adventures and experiences for those who would like to try out the sport.

Now Charlie Pitcher, the company's managing director, has provided the expertise behind the new ITV show, 'Don't Rock the Boat'. The five episodes of the series will run for five consecutive nights and feature 12 celebrities as they attempt to row the length of Great Britain.

As well as supplying two of the rowing boats used in the show with all the on water support, Rannoch Adventure was also the consulting company afloat on the project.
