The college boathouses are along the River Cam, downstream of Victoria Bridge.

Rowing first started at Cambridge in 1825, before it was introduced at Oxford. The first college boat club established was St John's, closely followed by Trinity. By 1830 Jesus, Magdalene, Emmanuel, Christ’s, Corpus Christi and Peterhouse had also founded boat clubs, and by 1835 a total of fifteen colleges had them. Newnham ladies founded the first women’s boat club in 1896.

The first college boathouse was built for Trinity in 1872, and by the end of the nineteenth century most of the colleges had built, or started to build, boathouses of their own.

Peterhouse is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It is the oldest college of the University, having been founded in 1284 by Hugo de Balsham, Bishop of Ely. The modern name of Peterhouse does not include the word "college".
