Sun Dolphin 5 Seat Pedal Boat With Extra Storage Area
This five seat pedal boat by Sun Dolphin is a basic pedal boat that’s great to use to take the kids out on the lake and even let them pedal the boat. It can seat three adults in the front comfortably and two kids in the back, but you also can let the kids sit up front and try out pedaling themselves, they may tire quickly though.
The boat is rugged and all three up front can pedal if they wish. Since this is a basic pedal boat, it doesn’t come with a canopy, so be sure to make sure everyone uses sunscreen out on the lake. There’s a storage area to store things or fill it with ice and use it as a cooler, keeps your soda’s nice and cold too.

Sun Dolphin Sun Slider 3 Seat Pedal Boat
The Sun Dolphin Sun Slider 3 Seat Pedal Boat is great for a couple to use to go out on the lake. The boat can easily be moved in and out of the water by two people. The rugged deck and hull can take a lot of abuse that you or your friends may give it and it has a sturdy paddle wheel that can take some bumps if you happen to run into some rocks.
It has a storage area to store your gear or you can fill it with ice to keep your drinks cold and the seats are fairly comfortable and can seat up to three people and all three can operate the boat and the tilt steering system is easy to use.
The only negative on this is the seat and pedal positions are not adjustable, so someone who is very tall may be a bit uncomfortable trying to pedal the boat. Anyone who is about 6 feet tall or shorter should have no trouble with the two outer seats, the middle seat seems to be made more for a kid.
