Sustainable and eco-friendly cruising

Sustainability is one of the most important things to focus on when booking activities to do in London, as well as affordability. Luckily, GoBoat is both affordable and environmentally friendly.

  • The boats are made of recycled plastic bottles
  • They use sustainably sourced wood for our tables, ensuring minimal waste.
  • The motors are fully electric, creating zero emissions and no noise pollution.

GoBoat are a sustainable company, perfect for an outdoor activity in and around London. Every detail of their design focuses on reducing environmental impact, reinforcing the idea that recreational activities can be both fun and responsible. Their eco-friendly values don’t stop there, they also do a lot of recycle rangers work in Paddington!

A cleaner and greener way of seeing London

Traditional boats often rely on diesel or petrol, contributing to air and water pollution, and effecting the wildlife in the river. Not only is their entire fleet electric motors, but they also don’t disturb the wildlife. So, look out for ducks, geese, and very rarely seals - one has been spotted by Kingston Upon Thames before! By choosing electric-powered boats, you are not just enjoying a lovely and leisurely experience but you are also actively reducing London’s carbon footprint and helping to keep its waterways clean.

There is an era of growing concerns about climate change so small choices like opting for an eco-friendly boating experience contributes to a cleaner and healthier future for our planet. GoBoat has pioneered a movement towards an eco-friendly activity since 2017, setting a huge example for other recreational businesses around London.

Much more than sustainability

Beyond their environmental benefits, GoBoat also offers a slow and leisurely pace to sightseeing. They encourage a relaxed environment, allowing passengers to fully appreciate their surroundings and London’s most iconic landmarks. Another huge advantage of our electric-powered boats is the serene atmosphere they provide. With no loud motor noise, you can enjoy meaningful conversations with friends and family.
