ABOUT THE BOAT

It’s finally here – a tough, single hull dragon boat built to IDBF specifications that incorporates the latest advances in the sport with a simplicity of design. The first American made dragon boat built to match IDBF specifications (certification pending) will lead the industry in the years to come. If you’re in North America, you don’t have to wait for a boat to arrive from overseas anymore. Built to last and affordably priced, the Exceder Dragon Boat is coming to events across the US!

The name Exceder originates from the Latin verb "Excedo", which means "to exceed, surpass, pass beyond", and matches the word for the Spanish verb meaning the same.

The Exceder Dragon Boat is the first boat made in the USA designed to meet International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) standards. Built in Florida, the superior single hull construction is tough and known to be the best design for a strong and durable boat, able to meet the needs of clubs and teams throughout North America. The design of the boat included input from engineers and paddlers to make the boat ergonomic and functional while meeting the stringent standards required of an IDBF-approved boat. 

The best boat at the best price, with service maintenance and accessories available closer to you than any other boat maker can offer.
