Dragon boating is a vastly popular water sport suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.
The boat is 43 feet long and holds up to 20 paddlers at a time. We have members who train hard or just paddle socially, and at Melbourne Flames Dragon Boat Club this mix of competitiveness is welcomed. Be warned though - it’s addictive!! When Social paddle and training sessions are run year round on Sundays, 9am. Additional training during spring and summer months are held on Tuesdays, 6pm.
The Melbourne Flames Club operates from a boat shed (shed 2) at the end of North Wharf Road, Docklands.
