The invention discloses a boating machine for fitness and entertainment, and belongs to the field of fitness equipment. The boating machine for the fitness and entertainment comprises a sitting rod, an inclined rod, a digital display, a damping device, and a heat-radiating wind wheel. The sitting rod is connected with the inclined rod through a bolt. The bottoms of the sitting rod and the inclinedrod are connected with support legs through connecting plates. The sitting rod is slidably connected with a cushion. A connecting place of the inclined rod and the sitting rod is fixedly connected with a pedal plate. The inclined rod is successively connected with a first box and a second box. The second box is internally connected with an elastic belt through a first rotating shaft. According tothe boating machine for the fitness and entertainment, the inner wall of a through groove is rotatably connected with two symmetrical pulleys, the elastic belt passes through the through groove and is positioned between the two pulleys. While a pull rod is pulled, the elastic belt is driven to be slid between the two pulleys, so friction to the elastic belt is reduced. A line clamping block is capable of, through a second rotating shaft, realizing angle adjustment of the line clamping block relative to the first box, and realizing the damping and automatic return effects through a telescopicrod and a spring.
