Pedal boats are very stable
A pedal boat is built wide and sits calmly in the water. That is exactly why it barely rocks and is the most forgiving boat we rent.
For families with kids and for anyone on the water for the first time, it is the most relaxed choice. You pedal along, take in the view, and the boat simply stays steady.
When it can still get risky
- ●Clearly more people on board than allowed
- ●When everyone stands up at once or leans to one side
- ●Rough rocking or deliberately swaying the boat
- ●Rushed, jerky getting in and out
How to keep it safe
- ●Stay seated while you are moving
- ●Keep to the stated number of people
- ●Get in and out calmly and one at a time
- ●Wear life vests, especially children
