Dragon Boat Race 2025

Head down to The Working Boat, let us pour you a refreshing pint of local ale, and make yourself comfy on our private quay as the races get underway.

This prestigious national sailing race returns to Falmouth again this summer.

Setting off from our pontoons, watch the brightly coloured boats race up and down from The Greenbank shoreline with a pint in hand.

At this free event, you can expect to enjoy a thrilling day of Dragon Boat racing, with teams competing throughout the day to take home the winning title. Spectator, winner or loser, there’ll be lots on offer. If you’d like to join us for food booking is recommended.

This year, we’re partnering with Mylor Sailability with 10% of all proceeds generated from our food and drink sales during the day donated to this amazing local charity.

So, head on down to the quay on 26th July 2025 and back your favourite boat with a pint in hand. The question is, who will take the title this year?
