Welcome to
Amathus Dragon Boat Club
What is dragon boat racing?
Dragon boating is the fastest growing sport in the world. It involves paddling a large canoe style boat with 20 other people in the same boat, together. In just under an hour we will teach you the basics of paddling a dragon boat while enjoying being out on the water of the Liverpool Docks, experiencing the fantastic views from the water. Take a look at our video below of dragon boating in action!
