About Us

Boston Taiwanese Boat Club, BTBC-Titans, is made of enthusiastic, fun-filled, and competitive Taiwanese students and working professionals in the greater Boston area founded in July 2018.

We aim for competing at a high level of the game while having fun and making friends. As united as a team, we believe that there is no MVP in a dragon boat. We paddle together and learn from each other. Everyone counts; Everyone matters. As buoyant as our boat, we brave the rough currents, wind, and rain. We believe that our heart and tenacity could bring out the best in us!
