Solar paddle boat built for four

Wouldn't it be nice to have a boat that your family could take out to nearby pristine sandy beaches with crystal clear blue water and billions of tropical fishes?

And wouldn't it be nice if, somehow, that boat didn't disrupt the fishes, or the environment, in any way?

And while we're dreaming, let's throw in some solar panels as well.

Well, that's the dream that Jonathan Mahieddine is offering us. He's created a pedal-powered boat for four. And if you get tired (or step on a stingray), there's always the solar-powered electric motor to get you home again.

A cute design that I couldn't help but feature.
