The boat club crest features the same mythical pelican as that of the College, often pictured in front of a pair of crossed blades.

The club benefited greatly when the Lent and May Bumps became separate events in 1887.

This has meant Corpus has traditionally found it difficult to get a sufficient run of good crews to get into the 1st Division.

[3] In the Lent Bumps the men have been around the middle to bottom of the 2nd Division since the early 1990s, although like in the Mays, have been moving upward in recent years.

[7] In 2016 Corpus won the Pegasus Cup for the most successful college boat club in the May races.
