About


The Old Dominion Boat Club welcomes members of reciprocating yacht clubs to visit us at our King Street and Prince Street docks. We offer a full-service restaurant, bar, and showers. Reservations are available to ODBC members to reserve 30 days prior to arrival, members of reciprocal yacht clubs 15 days before arrival.

Apologies, but we do not offer slips to virtual clubs or the general public.

Founded in 1880, the Old Dominion Boat Club (ODBC) boasts the oldest boating club in the Commonwealth of Virginia and continues to support its long-time heritage of rowing, boating, and philanthropy and fellowship. Today, our membership enjoys the benefits of a social club and breathtaking views of the historic Potomac River.

Located in Old Town Alexandria, the third oldest historic district in America and voted “The Best Small City in the U.S.” by Conde Nast Travelers, the club is within an easy walk to over 200 restaurants and boutiques. Our central location on the Potomac River also offers easy access to The District Wharf, Georgetown and Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., George Washington’s Mount Vernon and National Harbor. Take your boat or hop on a water taxi and let someone else do the driving.

Fabulous people at ODBC.they could not have been more welcoming. My husband is still talking about the food at the club. The location cannot be beat. We toured DC via metro and ferry We toured Alexandria via pedal power and free Trolly. Thank you ODBC. Come on down to Alabama and we will reciprocate

This is a great stop if your draft is under 5’. At Low tide we consistently saw depth of only 5’, almost 8’ at high tide. Folks were very friendly with a great clubhouse bar and restaurant. This downtown location is awesome. Scores of restaurants, groceries, West Maine, and other shops within walking distance. We even found a dog groomer, and Archie looks great!

Gary (our POC at the Yacht Club) could not have been more hospitable. My family and I appreciate him going out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for our visit. Thanks again Gary and ODBC.

Location can’t be beat. We tied on TDock (the only spot a 52’ boat can fit). Could see the Capital. Washington Monument & National Harbor from our deck. Docks in pretty good shape.

Dock is located at the end of King Street, where everything is happening. Restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance. Club was very welcoming, and we enjoyed several meals there and meeting new friends. Alexandria is a must see! There’s also a free trolley which takes you right to the Metro station to catch the train to Washington DC.
