Experience Dragon Boat Racing - Miami 2024

Miami Experience Dragon Boat Racing with GWN Dragon Boat

So you want to try dragon boat racing this summer, but are unsure where to begin. Rounding up twenty friends and co-workers can be like herding cats—er, dragons. That’s exactly why we created a recreational program within Miami, to help get you on the water this fall.

There are two Experience Dragon Boat Racing Program options available: Train & Race Package and Race Ready Package.

Train & Race Package

Program Details

The Experience Dragon Boat Train & Race package is a five-week program leading up to the Miami Dragon Boat Festival. One 1hr practice is held per week, making it the perfect opportunity to try out the sport without having to commit too much of your time. We supply you with all the equipment needed (i.e. boats, paddles, and lifejackets) – all you have to do is show up in clothes that can get wet!

Along with the five-week program, you'll also get the chance to compete in the Miami Dragon Boat Festival with the rest of the people in the program. Dragon boating is a great way to meet new people and this program can make you some lifelong friends.

What you get:

• 5 weeks of practices with certified coaches
• All equipment provided (boats, paddles, lifejackets)
• Entry to the Miami Dragon Boat Festival along with the other program members
• Team shirt for the festival
• Team tent in the Athletes' Village at the festival
