Anchored in Tradition, Built on Community

Founded in 1895, North End Boat Club is a member-owned nonprofit dedicated to fostering camaraderie, promoting boating and fishing, and advancing boating safety. With a community of approximately 500 members, our club is a welcoming space to connect, share stories, and support one another.

Membership is by sponsorship, with new members introduced by a current member in good standing. Our members play an active role in the club’s operations, serving on the board, holding officer positions, and participating in committees. While membership is limited, the public is warmly invited to attend our events and visit the club when accompanied by a member. Guests are asked to sign our Guest Book upon arrival.
