Cape Coral Dragon Boat Club

Cape Coral now boasts its very own dragon boat club – the Cape Coral Dragon Boat Club (CCDBC). Paddlers gather and hone their skills at the Cape Coral Burnt Store Boat Ramp, located at 230 Burnt Store Rd. S.

CCDBC is dedicated to expanding access to this exciting paddling sport throughout Southwest Florida. Unlike many other metropolitan areas across the country, the region currently has limited opportunities for dragon boat enthusiasts. 

The club aims to collaborate with local organizations and government bodies to introduce dragon boat racing to people of all ages and abilities. Through accessible public programs, CCDBC strives to create a truly inclusive environment where everyone can experience the joys of dragon boating.

For individuals with disabilities, dragon boating offers a unique path to improved fitness, social interaction, and a sense of accomplishment.

According to the International Dragon Boat Association, dragon boat racing boasts over 90,000 participants in the United States and Canada alone, with a staggering figure of over 300,000 across Europe. With origins dating back over 2,000 years to China, dragon boat racing has become a global phenomenon with tens of millions participating worldwide.

Individuals and groups interested in learning more or trying out dragon boat racing are encouraged to contact the club through the recruiting tab on their website at https://www.capecoraldbc.com
