History
Miami Beach Rowing Club was founded in 1995 by Dr. Ronald Shane on the Indian Creek Waterway. The City of Miami Beach leased the land and made a contribution of seed money, together with Dr. Shane and the University of Miami.

In 2007, the Center completed a two million dollar expansion which included a second boathouse, the second floor events venue and extensive remodeling of the first floor. Each year the Center hosts the Head of the Indian Creek Regatta as well as several collegiate races.
