Welcome to the home of the Melbourne Flames

Melbourne Flames is a Dragon Boat club based in Docklands, Melbourne. We paddle and train hard and have a lot of fun doing it. Our coach, Serghei Cucsa, is a former scientific advisor for the Soviet Union canoeing team and the current coach of the Australian Dragon Boat Squad and his experience is reflected in the training programme of the club.

If you've never been in a dragon boat before but are looking at getting into shape, or raising your fitness to a whole new level, our coach's programme of paddling combined with no-nonsense gym will do just that.

If you're a lover of the sport and want to compete at the highest level in Australia, then Melbourne Flames will also provide you with that opportunity!


We currently have over 80 members in the club, with ages ranging from 21 to 70. Come and see what all the fuss is about for 3 free paddling sessions - no commitment, no questions asked!
