Characters videotaped a lobster from pleasure boat (6)
I believe the answer is:
pedalo
'pleasure boat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'characters videotaped a lobster from' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'PEDALO' can be found hidden inside 'characters videotaped a lobster'.
(Other definitions for pedalo that I've seen before include "Foot-powered pleasure craft" , "Man-powered leisure boat" , "Type of pleasure boat" , "Paddle boat" , "Small pleasure craft driven by paddles" .)
