When I was a kid, pedal boats came in all shapes and sizes but they where not very efficient. Those swans you rent out by the half hour where like pedaling up a 45 percent grade using a bike with flat tires!

Things have changed!

Modern pedal boats are build using light materials, gone are the days of steel frame supports. Most come with canopies so you don’t get a bad sunburn when visiting the local wildlife and best of all, they are a fantastic way to have a very active few hours, even if all you do is tie it with a rope in your pool! If you want to really go high-end, some of these pedal boats even have gears (like on a bike) to really get you moving.

Pedal boats… what’s not to love?

I like pedal boats because you never need to worry about running out of gas if you bring enough food with you, sure they get pushed by the wind but this is an advantage. You can pedal at one end of a lake then allow the wind to push you back to where you started while trolling for fish. They also produce very little noise (when not on) and some even come with glass bottoms so you can see underneath at what is going on. You can also sneak up on wildlife relatively easily to get the best photographs. If you have kids, pedal boats are great, they will get exhausted after a few hours and sleep early all while building up their neuro-muscular pathways!
