Aquaretro In Putrajaya

School Holiday Breaks just around the corner. The parents should spend time with their children. Recently, when I read The Star newspaper, I found the article about Aquaretro in Putrajaya. So unique, vintage and 'chill' environment when  I put myself at there. Please take note it was my imagination. The article as below :

" Visitors to Putrajaya can add boating to their list of fun activitites that they can do with their family and friends. Aquaretro is a new attraction at the Putrajaya Lake Cruise in Precint 1, where visitors can navigate the boat themselves. It is easy to navigate the boat with one simple button to turn the power on and off. Recreational boaters only need to know how to turn the steering wheel. The navigation is easy enough that even children can try their hand at steering the boat.

Each visitor will be given a life jacket and a short briefing by the boat operator before cruising on the largest man-made lake in Putrajaya for 40 minutes. The boat can travel less than five miles per hour or 1.5 knots. Model like a classic car, Aquaretro  is fast becoming a favourite among the visitors to Putrajaya.  The boat service began operations in February. The boat designs were patented in Miami, Florida and installed in Beijing, China. The boat  is environmental-friendly because it uses battery power. It needs to be charged for 9 hours.  Each boat can operate for six hours if each trip takes 40 minutes.

It is a fun activity that both adults and children can enjoy. The rates are RM50 per boat (with Mykad) and RM100 (without Mykad) for 40 minutes. One boat can fit four adults. The boat services operates from 10am to 7.15pm (Monday to Thursday) and 10am to 10pm (Friday to Sunday). For details , kindly visit www.facebook.com/aquaretro. "
