Dragon boat racing is an exhilarating sporting event where teams compete in canoe-like vessels fitted with hand carved dragon’s heads and tails. With up to 17 people per boat paddling to compete in races at nearly 250m distances, spectators can expect to view an incredibly exciting and adrenaline pumping race from our quay. Lap up the excitement from the shoreline or revel in victory on the water. Spectator, winner or loser, there’ll be lots on offer.

We’re also proud to share that we partnered with Man Down for this exciting event and 10% of all proceeds generated from food and drink sales during the day were donated to this amazing organisation.

If you are looking to compete in the 2025 race, you can register your team’s interest and find out more info, by emailing here: chrisdodimead@dragonboatevents.com and download the team manual here.
