The Spanish dragon boats

TASTE THE MEDITERRANEAN IN A DIFFERENT WAY

Our dragon boats, with their carved dragon heads and tails, their vibrant and colours, are simply majestic! Add to this the setting of the Barcelona harbour, the backdrop of the city skyline, and not to mention Spanish sunshine, you have the perfect mix for a fantastic team building activity!

Your crew will have to display skill and teamwork in order to dominate these dragon boats, and dominate the opposition teams! Each 9 metre boat holds up to 12 people, including the helmsman at the stern guiding you through the water with a giant paddle, and a drummer at the bow, keeping you on time as he beats on a large drum.

Barcelona Vibes instructors will distribute team t-shirts and caps, then give a briefing on safety procedures and racing tactics and tips. There will be a practice session on land, followed by practice runs in the water, before the big race! We finish off the day with the awards ceremony, presenting certificates and medals...and the popping of champagne corks!
