Features
The Satuit Boat Club is a small club dedicated to furthering boating knowledge and maritime skills. According to the club website, “It was incorporated in 1944 during World War II when a group of Scituate boaters running patrol watches in Massachusetts Bay met in a building on Dock Street behind what is now T K O’Malley’s restaurant. This building was once home to Priscilla Fish who, with brother Russell, owned the Welch Co. These informal gatherings became more structured and evolved into the establishment the Satuit Boat Club.”
The club later purchased its current property on Jericho Road, next to the Scituate Harbor Yacht Club. Construction began in the mid-1950’s, while the harbor was being dredged, and expansions have continued through the years. The clubhouse — for members only — now features an activity room, a cozy fireplace area, a galley, showers, and restrooms. Outdoors, there are grills as well as a dock, floats and launch services, and great views of Scituate Harbor.
This land is within the region of the Massachuseuk (or Massachusett) Native American tribe.
