Bachelors Barge Club is the oldest continuously operating boathouse in the United States. The founders of the Club were members of the Phoenix Engine Company, a volunteer fire fighting organization. At first, membership was limited to bachelors, however the Club opened its doors to married men shortly after its founding. Membership at the club has risen considerably since the early 1980s when the Club had only 10 members. Now, the majority of Bachelors Barge Club's 150 members are women.
