Morphology
The meaning 'an organization for boating activities' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'boat' (a small craft) with 'club' (an association). This regular noun–noun compound follows common compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Boat club comes from the simple idea of boat and club. Imagine a 'group' of people who meet by the water with their boats to sail, race, and keep them, so boat club means an organization for people who enjoy boating.
