Abstract

The present invention relates to a watercraft (1) having at least one flotation device (3) coupled to a frame (5) having an upper surface defining a deck (7). The frame supports at least one first pedal assembly (17) and at least one second pedal assembly (19), each pedal assembly comprising a respective pedal crank shaft (35,37). The watercraft further comprises a propeller (23), said propeller being operatively coupled to said pedal crank shaftst such that rotation of said pedal crank shafts causes rotation of the propeller. The axis of rotation of the pedal crank shaft of the first and/or second pedal assembly is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the watercraft, said longitudinal axis extending from the centre of the bow edge of the watercraft to the centre of the stern edge of the watercraft.
