Shiplake College Boat Club is a rowing club based on the River Thames at Shiplake College Boathouse, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

History

Shiplake College was founded in 1959 by Alexander and Eunice Everett. The boat club is owned by Shiplake College and rowing became a primary college sport due to its location on the banks of the River Thames. In 2020 The Davies Centre was completed, incorporating a new boat storage and indoor training facilities. It was officially opened for former headmaster Gregg Davies in 2021, delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
