Pelican Sport - PEDAL BOAT MONACO DLX ANGLER - Adjustable 5 Seat Pedal Boat with Canopy, Green/White

I sent this as a gift to my grandchildren. They have a small spring fed pond behind their home. With everything going on these days I thought they could use something to do. Well they love it, as does my daughter. They use it everyday weather permitting. It’s small but if it were any bigger or heavier, it would be so much harder to pull out of the water. They also fish from it. Catch and release. So glad we sent it to them!

Family and myself have absolutely enjoyed this pedal boat. Used it all summer and it really has done well. The canopy provided shade in exactly the right areas. The storage compartments come in handy. I don’t recommend this boat for solo rides if you are like me and weigh 230 pounds. 1 person makes it lists enough that it makes steering very difficult. If you do ride solo, you’ll need to put something heavy on the other seat to get the proper balance. When my 7 year old who is 50 pounds or so rides with me, no issues at all. Easily can hold 3 adults, probably 4, I’ve never had more than 3 adults and 1 kid aboard. Goes like a dream in those cases. You won’t regret making this as your choice.

The pedal boat was everything we expected. The grandchildren love it. Love the colors. However, the condition it was in when it arrived was horrible. Even though it was wrapped in plastic, it was dirty, scratches were on the rim by the hull and the tops of the backs of both seats which was white had deep dense scratches like it was scrapped upside down on a concrete floor (have been unable to get the dirt out of the scratches) and the plastic was torn. Upon calling Amazon customer Service, I was given two options: partial or full refund but no replacement. Since the boat was usable and the kids didn’t want to part with it, we took the partial discount. Amazon CS was amazing. I believe the damage was done either at the vendor or in shipping or both.

No box, simply wrapped in plastic. Plastic was shredded, scrapes and dents all over, and aluminum rods for canopy and rudder bent. Looks like it was picked up and flung around from factory to delivery. Pity, looks nice and seems sturdy - just not designed to be flung around without some protection during shipping.

It’s heavy but that’s to be expected. We will have endless hours of fun and exploration. Better than a kayak or canoe because less danger of tipping! And exercise while floating around. I LOVE it.

Love this peddle boat, water toy! I over paid though as I went to Bass Pro Shop and found I could have bought it for $400 less for the exact same boat!! Nevertheless, it's a lot of fun. We live in Florida on a canal with Gulf access. I wouldn't recommend taking it out on the Gulf, but to peddle around the canals, it's perfect, fun, and relaxing!

Sides, bottom and back have significant scratches, looks like a used boat!

I’m excited to use this boat, but I’m pretty sure it will sink in its current condition. Please send me a chunk of my money back plz, there was no mention of these damages. As you can see, there is a fracture the size of my hand.
