Are you the owner of Jesus and Keble Boathouse?
Jesus and Keble Boathouse, located in Oxford, is home to the Keble College Boat Club, one of the largest and most successful college boat clubs within Oxford University. With a deep squad of dedicated athletes, a committed coaching team, and support from the college, alumni, boatman, and sponsor, the club has experienced great success in recent years.
The Men's first boat has held the Headship on eight occasions in the highly anticipated Summer Eights, most recently in 2018. Currently in third position on the river, they were bumped by Oriel in 2019 and Christ Church in 2022. The women's first boat, on the other hand, is in eighth position after reaching fifth place in 2017. The club consistently fields many boats, with six crews racing in the 2022 Summer Eights.
Jesus and Keble Boathouse welcomes all students of Keble College, regardless of previous experience, to join their rowing club. Whether you're a seasoned rower or have never seen a rowing boat before, the club caters to all levels of commitment and experience. Rowing is something that everyone who comes to Oxford should at least try, and Keble College Boat Club provides the perfect opportunity to do so.
