Adventure Glass

Human pedal power is the whole drive system: no engine to fuel, no exhaust, and nothing to mix before a ride. That makes these boats easy to hand over to guests and to run through a full day on a rental dock.

For a private pond or lake, a pedal boat is a simple way to take the family out, fish, or just use the water you have.

The Adventure Glass line covers a few deck layouts, from small two-person hulls to a 20-passenger riverboat. The right one depends on your riders, your dock, and the look you want.

Classic cockpit boats (2 and 4 person)

Riders sit low in a recessed molded cockpit, and the hull runs 8 feet (2-person) or 9 feet 7 inches (4-person).

Choose a Classic when the boat will carry young children or casual riders and you want contained seating.

Platform boats (4 person)

A flat raised deck gives riders room to step on and off and move around the boat. The Swan Platform 4-person model measures 10 feet long.

Choose a Platform when boarding traffic is heavy at a rental dock, or when riders want room to fish or sit on the deck.

Big Bird character boats

These use the platform format with distinctive character styling: Swan, Duck, Pink Flamingo, Dragon, Pelican, and Blue Heron.

Choose a Big Bird model when the look of the boat is part of the attraction and helps draw customers to a rental dock.

Themed and specialty boats

The Pirate Ship Platform seats 1 to 4 and measures 10 feet long, and each passenger contributes pedal power. The Mark Twain African Queen is a heavy fiberglass four-seater built for heavy use. The Pontoon pedal boat is built on sealed pontoons and is light enough to carry and move on land.

Choose one of these when you want a themed attraction or a boat that stands out from a standard hull.

Group craft

The 6-person SeaVenture has four pedaling stations so most passengers can help pedal. The 10-person Tour Boat uses a fiberglass hull with foam-filled seating, and the 20-person Genuine Sternwheel Riverboat is set up for tours, parties, and larger gatherings.

Choose a group boat when you are running guided rides or hosting groups rather than renting to individual families.

Start with the number of riders and the number of people who will actually pedal.

Passenger and pedaler capacity

• 2 person: compact hulls for couples, small families, and tight water
• 4 person: the standard family and rental format, in Classic and Platform layouts
• 6 person: four pedaling stations, for larger groups
• 10 to 20 passenger: tour and riverboat craft for commercial excursions

Some Classic models seat more than the name suggests. The Pelican Classic 2-person is listed for 1 to 3 riders, and the Blue Heron Classic 4-person for 1 to 5.

Hull length and weight

• 2-person Classic hulls: 8 feet long, 165 pounds
• 4-person Classic hulls: 9 feet 7 inches long, 185 pounds
• Swan Platform 4-person: 10 feet long, 180 pounds
• Pirate Ship Platform: 10 feet long

Longer hulls carry more riders but ask for more pedaling effort and more turning room.

Style

Standard hulls in white, black, or a custom color suit private properties and quiet concessions. Character models and themed boats suit public rental docks where the appearance of the fleet matters.
