Potomac Boat Club

The club also provides an outlet for members to engage with community organizations related to area parks and river usage, such as the friends of georgetown waterfront park, friends of rock creek park, the next-door key bridge boathouse, the thompson boat center, the kennedy center expansion project, and the potomac riverkeeper network; and organizes riverside cleanups with the potomac conservancy and the national park service. Pbc received a grant from the chesapeake bay trust which was used to install a 500 gallon cistern to capture rainwater. This water is now used to wash our boats, rather than direclty using water provided by dc water. Finally, the club and its members strive to maintain the history and historic presence and architecture of the club itself, and the environmental quality of the potomac river.

Each fall, weather permitting, the club hosts the scullers' head of the potomac regatta, which includes entries from high schools, colleges, and clubs throughout the mid-atlantic region. The regatta also includes handicapped/adaptive races to benefit those athletes. 24% of the revenue generated from this regatta came from pbc membership in 2024.
