I rented a pedal boat this weekend with my daughter, and one of the pedals broke during our ride. We had to switch seats just to make it work, which really took away from the experience. What was disappointing is that we still had to pay the full amount even though the boat wasn’t working properly. It would be nice if equipment was checked more carefully or if customers were offered a partial refund when something like this happens

The boat was super cool. It was glowing and had a speaker so we could listen to music. The staff was amazing and very friendly. They gave us a blanket and allowed my pup to come along. I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend, perfect way to enjoy the beautiful view of the bay at night. They provide blankets and you can hook up to your Bluetooth and play your own music. The guides are friendly and make the experience more enjoyable.
