Going to a lake, a damn, or even some of the calmer oceans around the world can be one of the most enjoyable things you can do. Or so I hear. I spent much of my youth standing on the shore of a lake (we couldn’t afford a boat) and was also a bit dissatisfied. …
We get it – it’s summer, and you’d want to enjoy your weekends exploring nature’s finest locations. Rivers and ponds are your easiest go-to locations because they offer you an opportunity to experience a fun-filled day out on the waters. But since you don’t have a boat, renting a pedal boat might be exactly what …
If you’re looking for a pedal boat to keep at your second cabin or aboard your yacht then we’re are in different boats. My first pedal boat was a significant expense and one that I wanted to care for and keep for years. To a large extent, because I couldn’t afford to replace it at …

Most people don’t take pedal boats seriously. They think that it’s just a cute (but expensive) thing to do at a park in the city: rent a pedal boat shaped like a swan for an hour and then go home. For those of us “in the know” however we appreciate that pedal boats can be …
Pedal Boating is fun, no doubt about it. But pedal boating can be quite hard as well. So, in other words, if it’s also good for me that would be the tie-breaker. What if it was one of the few things in the world that you could have a blast doing and it still made …
