Historic Monmouth Boat Club, located on the Navesink River in downtown Red Bank, NJ, was founded in 1879, making it one of the oldest clubs in the country. For more than 145 years we have been welcoming new members and their families. You will find a friendly atmosphere of large and small boat sailors, rowers, kayakers, paddle boarders, and power boaters.  There are plenty of activities for non-boaters also - the club has numerous social events throughout the year including cocktail parties, barbecues, and dinners. Membership and boat space are surprisingly affordable because the club is maintained by its members.

We also offer sailing lessons to the general public, both adults and youth. No experience necessary! Check out our Adult Sailing page and Junior Sailing page for details.

Fundraising Campaign to Preserve the MBC Clubhouse Underway

         The iconic Monmouth Boat Club building, built in 1895 and expanded in 1929, sits on a wood pile foundation
         which, after more than a century, requires a full replacement. Our club is raising funds to cover the cost of this
         substantial project. You can help by making a donation at the Friends of Monmouth Boat Club website. Your
         contribution will help preserve a building that is on the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places
         and is one of the last remaining 19th century buildings on the Red Bank waterfront. Thank you for your support!
