Pelican Monaco Pedal Boat

Arrived ahead of schedule, completely undamaged. I like the adjustable seat backs. I'm short, so fixed seats were always too far from the pedals. My only concern is that the front and rear handles are made into the black molding that surrounds the edge of the boat and acts as a bumper. They are riveted onto the boat and seem secure to move it when the boat is empty. Hoping they'll hold up getting the boat out of the lake later when it has taken on water.

Love, love love!! Such a fun little boat. It's the fishing model so there's places for your rod and other fishing gear. It has a shade for top so you can get out of the sun. Great exercise.nits so much fun you forget you are working out.

Delivery date falsely advertised. Showed up a week after claimed delivery date

The company was helpful in getting the boat delivered and working with a third party to do this. The boat itself is fine, a a childhood dream, but was disappointed when unwrapping it. It says don’t use until you read owners manual, and one was not provided. It had part of the bumper scraped off and a big scratch on top like it has been dropped somewhere along the way.

Pelican makes the best home-use pedal boats out there. Had one for about 4 years and was a fun toy. Had to replace several parts each year, but that's partly because we're on salt water. When it was time to replace, we tried the slightly cheaper Sun-Dolphin, and that was a big mistake. A couple parts broke in the first 2 times we used it, so we sent it back. Plus, the seats were so uncomfortable. This Pelican pedal boat is way more comfortable, way more durable, and is much more robust - including the ability to carry an extra 245 pounds over the Sun-Dolphin!!!! Like an SUV vs a compact car. Only took one star off because it does tend to leak some water through the axles, but they all do that unfortunately - even when brand new. Using some marine grease in there to try and limit the water passing through.

This is a great pedal boat. The hull is well constructed and it’s relatively comfortable for what it is. I personally wouldn’t carry 5 people in it.Steers and moves well. Wish the steering handle was sturdier.

Had item returned and pickup went great

I have never posted a review before now, but felt it was important to communicate as there is no way to talk directly to the manufacturer. The return window closed 2 weeks after receiving the pedal boat. This arrived with a cut/hole in the bottom of the boat. We are not sure we will be able to use it at all. For the cost of it and the amount of time we waited for it to be delivered, I thought we'd be able to talk to the supplier directly with any questions or issues. I wouldn't risk it again for this price.
