Waterford Boat Club has been based in our city since 1878. At almost 150 years old, it is the oldest sports club in the city and we are proud to say, one of the original founding members of Rowing Ireland. We have a deep history in the city and would attribute our survival to the generosity of our local members and businesses.
Waterford Boat Club is Waterford’s City’s only Rowing Club. Established in 1878, it is the oldest sports club in the city and we are proud to say, one of the original founding members of Rowing Ireland.
Canada Street is located just off William Street in Waterford City. Take the turn opposite “The Three Shippes” Bar and we are based on the Left hand side of Canada Street, opposite the hotel.
