The club was established shortly after Regent's Park became a permanent private hall of the university in 1957 and currently owns two boats, one named "Regent's Shark", in which the men's team row, and a more-lightweight women's eight named 'Bond Girls.'

In 2014, the women's novice boat that entered the Christ Church Regatta proceeded to win the overall competition – among the biggest achievements for any Regent's Park sports team in history.

Both the men's and women's boat have won blades on a number of occasions[1] and in 1979 the boat club undertook a charity row from Oxford back to the college's origins in Regent's Park, London, which was filmed by the BBC for a special documentary.

The Executive Committee consists of a President, Treasurer, and the Men's and Women's Captains, along with the Senior Member.

[citation needed] On the final day of each regatta, the Men's and Women's crews all down a small Smirnoff ice or non-alcoholic alternative.
