About GoBoat
Be the Captain of your own adventure
Get ready to experience total freedom on the water with GoBoat. You call all the shots as captain of your own rented boat trip. Rally your crew of friends, family or co-workers for an epic few hours seeing London from a fresh perspective.
Depending on your vibe, we've got four prime locations ranging from beginner-friendly to more ambitious for confident newbies.
Our eco-friendly electric GoBoats cruise along at relaxed 3.5 mph pace, letting you just hang out and soak up all the scenic views.
Each boat has room for you and up to 7 other mates, and your four-legged friend is more than welcome to join. On board, you'll find a handy map to help you make the most of your adventure. We've got recommended routes, but you're free to go wayward and chart your own course!
Safety first - so we'll show you the ropes with an online tutorial video before arrival, then a quick on-site session to get you ship-shape. Just be sure to arrive 15 mins early to maximize that glorious water time.
