The new operator of Golden Gate Park’s Stow Lake Boathouse, which reopens Thursday, wants you to know that its new “motorized boats” won’t be the noisy, gas-guzzling kind. Here’s what operator Ortega Family Enterprises has to say about the boats at its website:
Our fleet of American-made boats includes rowboats, electric boats, and pedal boats that seat from one to four boaters. All motorboats, including the support boat, are electric powered and silently glide across the serene waters of Stow Lake.
We do not have any environmentally adverse gas-powered boats in our fleet.
