We are pleased that you are interested in joining the Monmouth Boat Club (MBC). MBC was established in 1879 for the greater enjoyment of the Navesink River through a common interest in boating.  It is an informal and friendly organization.  The members are drawn together by a love of sailing, paddle sports, and power boating plus the many social activities at our historic clubhouse on the Navesink River.

MBC is maintained entirely by its members. There is no full time staff, so membership includes both privileges and responsibilities. Responsibilities include ongoing participation in various work parties and events throughout the season and, if interested, serving as a club supervisor or officer.

Benefits of club membership include:

• A charming three-story club house on the National Register of Historic Places, overlooking the beautiful Navesink River in downtown Red Bank, NJ
• The very best sunsets all season long from any one of three clubhouse decks – friends and cocktails welcome!
• An active social calendar including scheduled dinners, cocktail parties, and barbecues.
• Secure racks and launch area for your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards or rowing sculls
• Deep water mooring facilities for sail and powerboats up to 35 feet, with club launches and dinghies
• Modern docks with electric, water, and ramps to accommodate a variety of boats – dinghies to cruising boats
• A large secure yard to keep your power or sail boat on a trailer with three modern one-ton hoists to launch or retrieve boats
• A safety squadron of race committee, power and row boats that can support any activity
• Free use of our fleet of 20-foot Flying Scot club sailboats, as well as two kayaks and two paddle boards
• An active summer sailboat racing calendar with over 50 events per year spread over seven fleets, including several USSA sanctioned regattas
• An active rowing fleet in single sculls during the summer months
• Frostbite sailing in the fall and winter in addition to ice-boating with our partner ice-boat club
