The Queen Mary Boat Club accepts experienced and novice rowers to improve their fitness and technique. They represent Queen Mary at rowing events, offering opportunities for rowers to compete locally and nationally. Student crews race in eights, fours/quads, doubles/pairs and singles. Alumni of the university are eligible to row with Drapers Rowing Club. Annually, the students compete against a Drapers invitational crew in the Drapers Challenge Cup.
The club's kit is in the university's colours of spectrum blue and maize. The racing kit consists of blue lycra with gold stripes running down each side. To mark the club's centenary year the kit was briefly changed to a gold upper, with blue lower part.
Club blades are spectrum blue, with two maize stripes.
