3 The Boats
How many people can fit in one boat?
Our car-shaped pedal boats can comfortably fit 2-4 people, depending on the size of passengers. Perfect for families!
Are the boats difficult to operate?
Not at all! If you can ride a bicycle, you can pedal our boats. Our staff will give you a quick orientation before you head out. It's easy and fun!
Why are your boats shaped like cars?
Kids love them! Our unique Porsche-style pedal boats are a huge hit with children who love pretending to "drive" on the water. They're also very stable and comfortable.
