About Hell Gate Sea Dragons

Hell Gate Sea Dragons is the first and only dragon boat team located in Martin County, Florida . We are based out of Stuart, FL. The team is a foundation for women who are breast cancer survivors, but supporters are also welcome to join the team. Hell Gate is a narrow water marker in Martin County. We chose the name because it represents the journey Breast Cancer Survivors travel through. When one is diagnosed with breast cancer their world becomes narrow with only a focus on the disease and treatment. But as one becomes healthier then the world opens to a new outlook on life and new opportunities for the future. The team is all inclusive and is composed of men and women who like to paddle and get out on the water, have fun, motivate and support each other. No experience necessary. Use the contact for below to contact us and give this amazing, and fastest growing team sport in the world, a try and to make new friends! 


Analogy of why we chose Hell Gate for our team name. When you are just living life, your world is wide open to all types of opportunities, Once a person is diagnosed with cancer the world becomes very narrow with the focus on treatment - seeing doctors, operations, medications, chemo, radiation then rehabilitation to gain strength. After months of focusing on oneself to recover the world will begin to open up again. What better way to live than to be on the water with a great emotional and physical support system than Dragon Boating? Nothing is better than leaving your troubles on shore while on the water practicing.


Regular team practices are held in Stuart on Saturdays at 7:30am and Mondays at 6:30pm and in Jupiter on Wednesday at 6:30pm. All are asked to arrive approximately 20 minutes’ prior for check-in and warm-up exercises. 


If practice is cancelled due to bad weather (i.e. high winds, lightening, thunderstorms). If it is unsafe to go on the water, we sometimes have a get-together at a nearby restaurant.


Safety is first and foremost.
