One hour practices are available 7 days a week.  Saturdays and Sundays practices begin at 7:30 am, and run every 90 minutes until 6 pm.  Weekday practices are available at 5, 6 and 7 pm and upon request from 9 am until 4pm.

Select the date you wish to use the practice course to check for availability.  You must be a registered team before you can reserve practice time and you must LOGIN HERE with a separately assigned user name and password.  Please contact Christine Canevari for this information to schedule your practices.

The first three practices are free for teams registered for the Tampa Bay International Dragon Boat Races, and may be scheduled during the months of March and April.  Additional practices may be scheduled, upon availability, for $120 per practice.  If you have your own steersperson the extra practice will be $100.  

If you need to schedule a steersperson, we will contact you once you have made your reservation to confirm a steersperson.  Reservations are not confirmed until you have received an email from us with your assigned steersperson.

Practices are held at the Marriott Waterside's Marina, slip #1.  Parking can be found in the surrounding garages at the St. Pete Times Forum, the Convention Center and at Knight's Point on Harbour Island.  Metered spaces are also available under the Crosstown Expressway, in between Franklin and Tampa streets.
