Owing to the Club’s rich origins, the Lagos Motor Boat Club has flourished, earning itself an elite position as one of Africa’s most prestigious clubs.
The Lagos Motor Boat Club has an unmistakable ambience with its nautical-themed wood-panelled bar and boat wheel centerpiece.
The Lagos Motor Boat Club was incorporated on 23rd January, 1950 at Wilmott Point when a section of the Lagos Tarpon Club broke away to form their own faction. Founded in 1938, the Lagos Tarpon Club was established for fishermen and leisure boating activity. However, the original members of the Lagos Motor Boat Club broke away from the Tarpon Club in a bid to better preserve some of the founding sentiments of the Tarpon Club that were being eroded.
