Rowing teams picked up for boat trip (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cruise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'boat trip' is the definition.
'cruise' can be an answer for 'trip' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'boat' bit.

'rowing teams picked up' is the wordplay.
'rowing teams' becomes 'crews' (I've seen this in another clue).
'picked up' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'crews' sounds like 'CRUISE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cruise that I've seen before include "Holiday at sea" , "Voyage for holiday makers" , "Tom, say" , "Sail to and fro" , "Holiday on liner" .)
