About the Peterhouse Boat Club

Founded on 29th April 1828, the Peterhouse Boat Club is one of the oldest Boat Clubs in Cambridge. (A full history of the club is available on the PBCF website.)

The home of the PBC is at the Boathouse where the club's fleet of VIIIs, IVs and small boats is stored and maintained. The Boathouse also provides changing and land training facilities for members. Some racking space is available for rent to owners of private boats and those interested in a space should contact the Junior Treasurer for current rates and availability.

The club enters a variety of crews in all the main College events on the Cam as well as events away from the Cam such as the Tideway Heads on the Thames. Typically, the club aims to field at least four novice VIIIs each year (in addition to the senior crews) and then about four VIIIs for the Lent and May Bumps.

The PBC is run by the student committee along with the Senior Treasurer, Dr Stephen Hampton, and the Boatman, Mr Steve Harris.
