No, we’re not going to the amusement park. I know you kids just want to run around and eat way too many corn dogs. What if we take the dragon pedal boat out for a spin on the pond instead? I can pack a healthier picnic lunch, and it’ll be a fun day! So, how much does a pedal boat cost?
A pedal boat costs anywhere from about $600 – $7,000. The price varies primarily based on the number of passengers, which ranges from 1 – 6. Additional options such as a novelty shape or design may add to the cost. Accessories such as a canopy are a nice addition, but will also increase the price.
Embrace your inner Loch Ness Monster when you take a trip on the dragon pedal boat!
This adorable dragon pedal boat looks like it came straight out of the amusement park and landed in your yard. It’s made from a lightweight durable fiberglass in the shape of a fierce dragon. The paddle boat is green in color with red accents on the neck and spikey tail. You’ll stand out anywhere you go, with the neck rising a full six feet out of the water! I’d probably just go paddle around in the fog to perpetuate those Nessie sightings.
The dragon pedal boat is designed to support two adult passengers (though kids can easily use it too). The maximum combined user weight is 600 pounds. You’ll operate the boat with a stainless steel pedal system that drives a paddle wheel under the dragon’s body. A center-mounted steering stick is accessible by either rider to direct the rubber rudder as needed. This also allows for one person to pedal the pedal boat if needed.
A pedal boat is perfect for enjoying calm waters. Whether it’s a pond, lake, or otherwise protected inlet that’s at least 2 feet deep, it’s appropriate for this dragon paddle boat. You’ll even find that the edges have a rubber bumper for docking. This helps prevent bumps and scrapes when you moor.
What do you wear pedal boating?
You should wear comfortable clothes when pedal boating. Wear shoes instead of flip flops, and choose clothes that are able to get wet. Jeans are a poor choice, as they will weigh you down if you capsize. Remember to wear sunglasses and a hat for sun protection on the water.
In fact, pedal boating is much like kayaking in terms of how to dress. Read our whole guide on what to wear kayaking for some great tips and ideas!
