About Us

The Mersey Motor Boat Club is a boating club based on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, near Liverpool.

There is acknowledgement the Club is the oldest motorboat club in the country on the inland waterways system. The Mersey Moor Boat Club was originally founded in 1932. In 2022 the Club celebrated the 90th anniversary of its founding.

The ethos of the club is that it should be a club, not simply a mooring there are requirements that members take part in work parties, to keep the moorings in good repair and tidy, and take part in regular social events.

We value this ethos – club members are ready to help each other in a crisis and share boating experience and technical knowledge.

Many members of the Mersey Motor Boat Club are actively involved in waterways organisations and projects.

We are active in the Inland Waterways Association (IWA), the Canal & River Trust (CRT) and in the Association of Waterways Cruising Clubs (AWCC).
