ABOUT WARGRAVE BOATING CLUB

Situated down a quiet track off Station Road in Wargrave, our well-equipped family Boating Club provides boats and courses for kayaking, canoeing, dinghy rowing, skiffing, punting, fine boat rowing and paddle boarding.  

Key benefits of membership:

  • Open weekends from April to September, and most week days during May half term and the summer school holidays, it’s a great way to entertain your children.

  • Free use of club dinghies, sit-on kayaks & Canadian canoes, and stand-up paddleboards (with some age and other restrictions).

    Members can bring their own non-motorised craft to launch from the club

  • Great facilities including a fully-equipped kitchen, toilets, hot showers, gas BBQ and outdoor benches alongside a beautiful river side location.  Complimentary hot and cold drinks.

  • We also offer more competitive rowing in our beautiful “fine boats” including skiffs, punts and eights; a great way to improve fitness and meeting new people
