Boating is...
inspiration on the water. Boating enthusiasts feel it every time they view the rippling blue river. It spurs them on to relax, let go, and feel at peace with the sun and the steady rhythm of the water.

The Greenwich Water Club offers a full working marina with a 250-slip capacity, on-site repair service, fueling dock, visiting slip privileges, winter storage facilities, and a ship’s store with everything to outfit your boat and ensure a great day of cruising on the water.

We offer personal and team sculls, kayaks, wave runners and a variety of sport power boats (18 to 26 ft.) that are available by the full day or half day. GWC offers an exclusive amenity to club members, a ship’s captain can be appointed to welcome you aboard for a carefree day at sea. An elegant picnic lunch can be arranged or a private sunset cruise with dinner and champagne, just say the word!
