From a very small beginning and with many hours of voluntary work the Club has a proud reputation. The various pictures, charts and other memorabilia in the clubhouse provide an ongoing interest. The PPSA and RNLI have had the occasional use clubhouse for their meetings. The walls of the first floor have been adorned with wall lights and donations including ship's wheels, maps, clocks, paintings and with a wrought iron surround. The bar now stocks a wide choice of drinks.

The annual gala is a major event in the summer boating programme. It continues to support the RNLI and in 2004 made a contribution towards the refurbishment of the St Germans clock whilst Harvest Festival held in the clubhouse raised money for the Air Ambulance.

The upkeep and redecoration of the clubhouse is mainly the responsibility of the club and the committee relies on the help given by members. Volunteers continue to be needed to assist in this work.
