ABSTRACT:
A pedal powered catamaran has a pair of pontoons connected by a cross platform whereat an operator sits and rotates a pair of pedals which power the catamaran via a drive mechanism, the drive mechanism allowing the operator to gain mechanical advantage. One or both of the pontoons has a seat molded directly into the upper surface thereof in order to accommodate additional passengers onto the catamaran. Back rests and cup holds are also provided.
