A Pelican Paddleboat Spells F.U.N.

When you need to get away from the "hustle and bustle" of everyday stressful life, there isn't anything to beat throwing the paddleboat in the back of the truck and heading off to a nearby body of water to go paddling OR pedaling!

I think everyone lives with their cell phones in their pockets, so I won't hammer that one, however, since you'll be on the water, it's a good idea to place it inside of a ziploc-type plastic bag IN CASE it gets dropped into the water!

You should always have a few adult life jackets and children jackets on hand for safety, as well as a good first aid kit, preferably one in an air tight, waterproof container.

A waterproof flashlight should also be in your "list to have with you" items when you go paddle boating.

I also recommend having 2 more items always with you in any kind of water craft; an extra paddle with a "boat grip" is a real good idea in case something happens and so is a pack of survival blankets. I don't care how low maintenance and safe this kind of boat craft is, LIFE HAPPENS!

It pays to be prepared. Having these few extra items could make the difference in being comfortable or "safe" in an emergency or being in BIG trouble because you didn't make the effort to be prepared for any situation!

Stay safe and have a GREAT time paddling around!

OK, there are a few things that are a must when you are shopping for a paddleboat, right?

Things like comfortable seats to make pedaling for longer periods of time less tiring. This will also put less strain on your back. I will admit that even the most comfortable seats can do with MORE cushion for those long hauls (or if you plan on using your water craft often) and a good seat cushion can improve even the best water experience.

The Pelican Paddleboat has exclusive adjustable seat backs and very comfortable seat cushions as part of the main model. Again, ALL models could do with even more cushion, in my opinion, and obviously others, because an awful lot of this type of water cushion is purchased every month.

Space for a cooler is a "must" in many people's opinion and the Pelican Paddleboat also has this included. It has a removable, walk-on cooler/compartment lid with adapter right on board or you can remove the lid/adapter and there's plenty of space to replace it with a full size carry-on cooler. And, yes, there are pre-molded cup holders so your cups and cans will stay in the boat and not fall out into the water.

This model also can carry up to three persons comfortably, weight capacity is up to 525 lbs.

A canopy is a "must" for many people. Add a tube or bottle of sunscreen and you are all good for the day. The canopy will help you avoid sunburn and give some cooling shade during the hot hours of the day.

All in all, the Pelican Paddleboat includes all of the most wanted items that purchasers look for when they are shopping for paddleboats.

Kick up rudder and canopy are factory installed with a warranty.
