A main body member is supported by transverse supports on a pair of pontoons. The main body member supports an operator\s seat, a cargo rack, a pedal drive propeller assembly, and a rudder. The main body member has longitudinal slots in its surfaces that are associated with longitudinal interior sockets for adjustable engagement with the seat, the cargo rack, a support extension for the pedal drive propeller assembly, and the transverse supports. By means of such adjustable engagement, attachable portions are capable of longitudinal adjustment for establishing the desired trim of the cycle on the water with the operator or operators supported on the seat. Also, the support extension for the pedal drive propeller assembly is capable of longitudinal adjustment to accommodate the stature of the operator or operators after the plane of buoyancy has been established. Furthermore, seat and propeller assemblies for one or two persons are capable of being substituted one for the other. The propeller assembly and rudder are arranged to pivot rearwardly for riding over obstructions and also can be moved to a position above the bottom of the pontoons for moving the cycle up on the beach or a dock. The parts are capable of being assembled and disassembled without the use of tools.
