Welcome to Carrington Boating Club

Carrington Boating Club is situated in Horace Window Reserve, along the banks of the Brisbane River. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor, a casual cruiser, or simply someone who loves the water, our club offers the perfect place to connect, unwind, and explore. With a friendly atmosphere, stunning river views, and a calendar full of social gatherings and boating adventures, we provide the ideal setting to share experiences, build friendships, and celebrate the joy of life on the water.

Club House

Our club house is the heart of the club, offering a welcoming and relaxed space to unwind before or after time on the water. Members and their visitors can enjoy the comfortable setting, whether catching up with friends, taking in the river views, or simply soaking up the laid-back atmosphere. With convenient kitchen and barbecue facilities, it’s easy to share a casual cook-up, making the clubhouse the perfect spot for both social gatherings and quiet moments by the river. The club house can also be hired privately to both members and non-members, for your own events. Please see the bottom of the Membership & Fees page for details.

Kayaks and Canoes

The kayaking group members meet at least once a week for a social paddle. These regular outings are a great opportunity to build skills, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with fellow paddlers. In addition to the weekly sessions, the group organizes trips further afield, exploring new waterways and taking on more adventurous routes together. Whether it’s a relaxed evening paddle or a full-day excursion, the kayaking group brings together enthusiasm, camaraderie, and a shared love of being on the water.

Moorings

Members can rent both jetty and buoy moorings from the club if available. Members can also keep self moored vessels at the club and still utilise club facilities. Membership details and mooring fees can be found on the Membership & Fees page.

Slip

Members can utilise the club's slipping facilities. There is a slipping roster that you will need to book in on. Haul out days and times are subject to tides. Membership details and slipping fees can be found on the Membership & Fees page.

Boat Building

Our club has a roofed workshop area, providing the perfect space for members to design and build small boats in a supportive, hands-on environment. One of the most exciting projects to come out of this workshop is Maiwar, a beautifully crafted wooden rowing boat built by Tom Robinson. Maiwar was more than just a workshop project; Tom set a record in Maiwar, as the youngest person to ever row across the Pacific Ocean solo! This achievement stands as a testament not only to Tom’s determination but also to the club’s spirit of innovation, adventure, and craftsmanship.
