🛶 Pedal Boat Hire – “The Donald”

Looking for a relaxing and family-friendly way to explore the Gippsland Lakes?
“The Donald” is our fun and eco-friendly pedal boat, available for hire right here at
Captains Cove Resort. Whether you're a couple looking for a scenic adventure or a small family
wanting a gentle cruise, this is the perfect activity to slow down and enjoy the region.

Launch directly from Burrabogie Island at Captains Cove and enjoy a peaceful ride through Paynesville’s
calm canal waters. You’ll pass moored yachts, quiet jetties, and beautiful waterfront homes – with stunning
views towards Lake King (note: open-water paddling is not permitted).

The Donald seats up to 2 adults, or 3 people if the third is a small child. No licence or boating
experience is required, and we provide fitted life jackets and a short safety overview before each hire. It’s perfect
for a relaxing morning cruise or a sunny afternoon adventure with the kids.

This is a low-impact, eco-conscious way to connect with the natural beauty of the Gippsland Lakes and
enjoy some quality time outdoors – all from the calm, protected waters of Paynesville’s inland canals.

Pedal at your own pace, soak up the sunshine, and experience why we say:

#WeLiveItYoullLoveIt.
