Your Professional Dragon Boat Partner
We are anything and everything about dragon boat.
The Dragon Boat Orientation Program (DOP) led by our experienced trainer and steersperson would be the best option for people who are interested in trying out the sport of dragon boating for the first time.
Under the current Covid-19 restrictions, you can experience dragon boating with either:
Min. 4 persons in the Small DB12-crew dragon boat
Min. 8 persons in the Standard DB22-crew dragon boat
Despite these limitations, the activity is still good for those who wish to have some fun time and a good laugh together.
During this period of the Covid-19 Pandemic, SDBA has put into place the DB-Safe Plan which has been approved by Sport Singapore for the safe return to the sport of dragon boating.
Please see the DB-Safe Plan document as well as the Terms and Conditions for the Rental of Dragon Boats for the conditions which must be abided by if you wish to rent boats for dragon boating activities.

All dragon boat owners are required to ensure that their boats have Vessel IDs, issued by PUB, which are not expired. Please read through the following flow-chart for the steps that you will need to take for the vessel ID renewal process.
Step 1 Inform SDBA in writing about your renewal intention |
Step 2 SDBA will guide you on the renewal process as well as notify PUB to initiate the process. You will need to submit the following documents:
|
Step 3 Submit all documents to SDBA for verification & endorsement |
Step 4 SDBA will forward to PUB to process |
Step 5 PUB will inform boat owner in writing of the approve permit and an email acknowledgement (by the boat owner) to PUB’s term and conditions is required. Process is then considered completed and the vessel permit is approved for the said period |
Dragon boats owners may do a 1 to 1 replacement of their existing boats if they are damage or beyond economic repairs. They need not wait until the expiry of their existing permits.
Boat owners must be certain which boat they want to replace as the existing Vessel ID will be deregistered and damaged boat scraped to make space when the new boat arrives
The process will be as follows:
Step 1 Inform SDBA in writing about your replacement intention. DO NOT make any purchases at this time until SDBA obtains an in-principal approval from PUB. Meanwhile, you will need to project when your boat will arrive. Some factors to consider are internal procurement procedures, tendering & awarding process, manufacture & shipment. This may take 3 – 9 months to complete. |
Step 2 SDBA will seek PUB’s in-principal approval for the replacement and advise when the boat could potentially arrive in Singapore. Only after approval is given then can the boat owner proceed with the replacement. There will be a time limit on the approval & SDBA will advise on a case by case basis. |
Step 3 Notify SDBA on the arrival of the new boat and a new Vessel ID will then be assign by PUB (you cannot use back the existing ID no). You will need to submit the following documents:
|
Step 4 Submit all documents to SDBA for verification & endorsement |
Step 5 SDBA will forward to PUB to process |
Step 6 PUB will inform boat owner in writing of the approve permit and an email acknowledgement (by the boat owner) to PUB’s term and conditions is required. Process is then considered completed and the vessel permit is approved for the said period |
