Passage West Rowing Club is a coastal club in County Cork. Rowing Ireland lists it for coastal sculling and coastal sweep rowing, with green as its club colour.

The club's senior men won the All-Ireland regatta at Cobh in 1991, earning hosting rights for the following year. Passage West chairman Liam Healy then invited representatives of three coastal associations to a meeting that led to the formation of the Irish Coastal Rowing Federation in April 1992.

Passage West and the Irish Yawl Rowing Association organised the first official All-Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships in Passage West on 5 and 6 September 1992. Clubs from the three founding associations and two County Antrim clubs took part.

The club added offshore rowing in 2020 with its first quad. By 2022 its offshore fleet had grown to two quads, two doubles and privately owned singles.

At the coastal championships covered by the club's 2022 awards report, Passage West crews won four gold, four silver and two bronze sets of medals, placing the club second overall. At the 2024 Irish Junior Coastal Championships, Passage West won the women's junior 14 coxed quad and men's junior 14 coxed quad.

Passage West runs endurance and beach-sprint regattas. Rowing Ireland records show both formats on its 2024 programme at Loughbeg Beach, Ringaskiddy.
