Set inside King Harbor in Redondo Beach, Pedal Port’s pedal-boat rentals offer a simple, low‑stress way to step off the shore for an hour and trade the city’s pace for the quiet geometry of marina docks and sunlit water. Compact, easy to handle and intended for families, the outing is as much about relaxing in the harbor as it is about steering the craft itself.

Outing Highlights

THE HARBOR

Calm, Protected Waters in King Harbor

Rides take place inside King Harbor, a sheltered marina where pedal boats move through calm water and past moored yachts — ideal conditions for an easy, one‑hour circle on the water.

THE FAMILY RIDE

Designed for Families and Casual Outings

The experience is meant to be family‑friendly and relaxing: short duration, simple craft, and a pace that suits children and adults looking to unwind rather than race.

THE BASICS

Safety and On‑Board Rules

Coast Guard–approved life vests are provided; operators enforce a minimum weight requirement for riders and prohibit smoking and alcoholic drinks on board to keep the environment safe and family‑oriented.

What the day feels like

What the Hour Feels Like

You’ll board at the harbor, settle into a small, stable pedal boat and spend an hour tracing the protected lanes of King Harbor — the motion is deliberate and gentle, with time to take in the marina, the sun on water, and a different perspective on the shoreline.
