Night-lit pedal boats
The same swans, ducks, dragons and flamingos — wrapped in lights, on black water, with the harbor glowing behind you.

What it is
An hour on the water after sunset
Each boat is wired with lights along the neck, the wings and the hull, so from the shore you look like a piece of the harbor’s own light show. From inside the boat you get the reflections, the quiet, and a harbor that looks nothing like it does at two in the afternoon.
Launch times move through the season because they follow sunset — the boats go out at 8:15 PM in late June and 4:45 PM by December. The full published schedule is below.
Night rentals are the only pedal boat rental we take bookings for. Everything during the day is walk-up.
