My 5-yr old loves this boat! He and his dad have a lot of fun using it at a pretty big pond at one of our village parks. The only down-side is the actual amount of time it can be used on one charge (about 10-15 minutes). I think this was mentioned by another reviewer, so it was nice to at least know this ahead of time.

This remote controlled boat is speedy and sturdy. The remote range is much greater than I expected, as is the speed. The boat responds fluidly to the controller, making quick,sharp turns. It even makes a wake. It is relatively quiet for running on lakes surrounded by residences. Recharging takes 5 hours which allows approx. 12 minutes run-time. I hope to buy a second battery pack. A catalog comes with the boat. You may want to secure the antenna better as mine loosened. Grasp your remote tightly because everyone, young or mature, male or female will want to try running it.

I first want to say that this company has excellent customer service. My grandson (6 yrs old) loves this boat and so does his dad.
