The present site of the Club was initially on lease and subsequently in 1876. Then commenced the work of construction of various facilities such as the boat shed and dressing room. Located on the enchanting banks of rivers Mula & Mutha, the Royal Connaught Boat Club was established during the second half of 19th century. The Club is known internationally and is one of the oldest institutions with a royal lineage.
