2023-2024 Dragon Boat Team Program Information

Registration for the 2024 season is now open at register.dragonboatbc.ca!

Welcome to Canada’s largest multidisciplinary paddling club, located in the heart of Vancouver on False Creek. Enjoy our state of the art paddling facility- open year round, and accessible to paddlers of any background and ability. We offer a fleet of standard BuK boats, 10 person Swift Racing boats, and locally made 24 person 6-16 boats.

Our flexible pass system offers registration options that lines up with your paddling season. Whether your team is a competitive team that trains year-round, are cross-disciplinary paddlers expanding paddling opportunities, or friends looking to explore the water, we offer a pass to meet your needs. Please note that returning teams must contact the office by the end of September each year to confirm they are keeping the same slots. After this time, any unpaid invoices or unconfirmed slots will be released to everyone to book. No time changes are allowed during this time.

All pass programs now operate on the same time frames and registration categories to simplify your registration process.

2023-2024 Coach Boat Fees – Now open for registration! Email [email protected] to register for slots.

3-4 coach boats are available per time slot. It is our goal to ensure that each team with a booked slot for a coach boat will have one for almost every practice. The rotation will only be implemented if motors or boats are out of service and no replacements are available, or if the boats are required for Club operations/safety reasons.

To register for coach boat use, please email [email protected]. All drivers will be required to complete a test and present proof of PCOC issuance. Team managers/administrators will be required to complete a Coach Boat orientation.
