Whether you are an experienced paddler, a “newbie,” a cancer survivor or community paddler, Dragon Boat Charleston has a boat for you. DBC members can be seen almost any day of the week on the river, preparing for upcoming races, pushing themselves to physical limits or enjoying the sunset while on a paddling break.

DBC participates in 5 to 6 races per year, has off-season programs like yoga and nutrition and numerous social and recreational gatherings throughout the year. Some call it a “floating support group,” some call it a family. Whatever it is, it’s fun!
