Caius Boat Club (CBC; Caius pronounced keys) is the boat club for members of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. The club has rowed on the River Cam since 1827, and like the other college boat clubs its aim is to gain and hold the headship of the Lent Bumps and May Bumps, now held in eight-oared boats, separately for men and women.
The club had a golden era from 1998 to 2007, finding itself in the top echelons of college rowing on both the men's and women's sides. From the May Bumps 1998 until the May Bumps 2007 Caius took 19 headships, 15 of these by the men. In 2000 they became the first college to take a double headship on both the men's and women's side in the May Bumps. CBC has held the Men's Head of the River since the May Bumps 2019. During the May Bumps 2023, Caius came scintillatingly close to repeating their unique feat of holding both the men's and women's Head of the River. The women bumped up to headship on the first night, joining the men rowing over at headship station on both the second and third evenings. CBC remain the highest overall placed club on the river, with the men at headship and the women second.
