More than a marina: a community on the river.
Founded in 1905, the Eastern Power Boat Club is the first boat club on the Anacostia and one of the oldest in America devoted to power boating. We are a non-profit where neighbors from all eight wards of the District keep their boats, share meals on the dock, and look after the river together.
Our members built the clubhouse in 1913 and moved it twice, floating it across the river to the acre of Historic Boathouse Row it has held since 1924. In 2011 the DC Historic Preservation Office determined it eligible for historic designation. A century on, we are still doing what the founders set out to do: making boating accessible on one of the most beautiful and natural urban rivers in the world.
Everything that makes Eastern feel like home.
The Marina
Protected slips and docks on the Anacostia, with a boat ramp and room for powerboats of every size.
Historic Clubhouse
A welcoming waterfront clubhouse for meetings, meals, and members’ celebrations all year round.
Community & Events
Cookouts, raft-ups, and neighborhood gatherings, the easygoing community that turns dock neighbors into lifelong friends.
River Stewardship
We look after the Anacostia we love: Earth Day cleanups, shoreline trash pickups, and boating responsibly on a river that has come a long way.
A protected home port in the heart of the District.
Tucked along the Anacostia, our marina offers members a calm, well-kept place to dock, launch, and gather, minutes from downtown Washington.
Every evening on the Anacostia looks a little different.
