Dragon Boating
Dragon Boating has been offered on the Sunshine Coast for
the past 5 years. Our club began as a division of the Gibsons
Paddle Club and is now a newly formed (2010) separate non
profit society known as the Sunshine Coast Dragon Boat Club.
The club owns 2 dragon boats which are kept at the
MacKenzie Marina on beautiful Porpoise Bay through the
generosity of Mr. Don MacKenzie. Our boats are 39 ft. and 48
ft. long and hold 20-22 paddlers along with a club approved
coach and steersperson. The paddling season extends from
April to the end of September with many opportunities on the
water for having fun, improving fitness levels, and learning
the techniques involved in paddling a dragon boat. We have
approximately 130 adult members who sign up in January
each year for one of our teams. Each team has a unique
character and offers a different combination of recreational
and competitive experience.
