UCD Boat Club has its own facilities on the River Liffey in Islandbridge, Dublin 8. TheĀ boathouse is situated on the North side of the river along the Chapelizod Road beside Commercial, Neptune and Garda Boat Clubs. The club shares this boathouse with UCD Ladies Boat Club and Old Collegians Boat Club. This is the training base for all crews at the start of the season and Novice crews for the entire season. The boathouse lies on a 1.8 km stretch of river which is easily accessible from the city. It is also the departure point for crews competing on the lower Liffey through the centre of Dublin City.
