Pedal Boat | Pelican Boats | Boating with Leg Power

A pedal boat is the cheapest, the easiest to maintain, and the quietest boat available. A Pelican paddle boat is the top of all the brands, of pedal boats.

Probably the first reference to a pedalo, or pedal boat, can be found in drawings by Leonardo da Vinci where he depicts a paddle powered craft driven by two pedals.A pedalo (UK English; US & Australian paddle boat or pedal boat) is a form of waterborne transport, primarily for recreational use, powered through the use of pedals.

Pedalos, or paddle boats, work by utilizing the pedaling motion to rotate a paddle wheel similar to the form of marine propulsion used in the earlier Paddle Steamers. Two seater pedalos have three pedals on each side to allow one person to pedal from the center if boating alone. They are sometimes available for rental on small park lakes, and are commonly preferred for non-competitive fishing for their quieter motion compared to motorboats. A common type of pedalo allows two people to sit side by side, pedaling together.
