# Ultra-Luxurious Pedal Boats The Runabout by Beau Lake is Amazingly Comfortable & Incredibly Modern By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-08-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedal-boat References: [luxurylaunches](http://luxurylaunches.com/transport/this-could-be-the-most-expensive-pedal-boat-in-the-world.php) & [beaulake](https://beaulake.com/collections/pedal-boat/products/the-beau-laker-navy-with-mahogany-deck?variant=12824088969259) One would not necessarily associate [ultra-luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-horizons) with pedal boats but Beau Lake changes that with its design for the Runabout. Comprised out of "three primary construction components" — the hull, the cockpit liner and the deck surface, the waterborne vehicle embraces comfortability through ergonomic design and a classy aesthetic. The pedal boat is ideal for a relaxing trip for two out into the water, fishing and other balanced activities. While the chic navy coloring and the mahogany materials capture the attention of the consumer first, the leather covers on the seats definitely add a higher level of refined luxury. The pedal boat is completed with hidden storage compartments, as well as a cooler to keep beverages at optimal temperatures. The eco-friendly mode of transportation is priced at $25,000 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Pedal Boats:** The emerging trend of luxury pedal boats presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create highly refined leisure watercrafts. - **Eco-friendly Watercrafts:** The increased interest in eco-friendly transportation has created a disruption in the leisure watercraft industry, highlighting a need for sustainable options to be created. - **Innovative Watercraft Design:** The unique and innovative design of the Runabout by Beau Lake presents an opportunity for designers and manufacturers to think outside the traditional box of watercraft design. ### Where This Applies - **Leisure Watercraft Manufacturing:** Luxury pedal boats and other emerging trends within leisure watercraft manufacturing provide an opportunity for industry professionals to create high-end, sustainable alternatives. - **Luxury Outdoor Recreational Equipment:** The trend of luxury pedal boats falls under the umbrella of luxury outdoor recreational equipment, providing an opportunity for companies within this industry to expand their niche into watercrafts. - **Eco-friendly Transportation:** The increase in demand for eco-friendly transportation options highlights an opportunity for companies to create products that fill this need, including eco-friendly leisure watercrafts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Electric Cruising Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persico-zagato-1002-hyperboat.md) - [Luxurious Recreational Electric Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recreational-electric-boat.md) - [Luxury Collaboration Hydrofoil Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candela-c8-polestar-edition-boat.md) - [Pedal-Powered Fishing Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-town-sportsman-bigwater-epdl-132.md) - [Cost-Conscious Electric Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veer-x13.md) - [Riproaring Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opulent-luxury-yachts.md) - [Hot Tub Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacruzzi.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Custom-Built Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custombuilt-yacht.md) - [Affordable Electric Boat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-electric-boat.md)
