What is it?
A self-drive electric boating experience that gives you a whole new perspective on London via the water. No skipper required.
Where is it?
Based in Merchant Square, Paddington, GoBoat lets you cruise one of London’s prettiest stretches of canal, with routes through Little Venice, Regent’s Park, Camden Lock and beyond.
What you’ll find
GoBoat offers an easy, breezy way to explore the capital. Their quiet, eco-friendly electric boats are simple to steer, even for complete beginners. Each one fits up to eight people, making them ideal for group outings, family adventures or even a waterside celebration.
The vibe is ultra-relaxed: pack a picnic, bring your playlist, and drift through leafy canal paths, colourful houseboats and tucked-away parts of London you’ve likely never seen before.
No experience? No problem. The GoBoat crew will show you everything you need to know before you set off, and dogs and kids are very welcome aboard.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just soaking up a sunny Saturday, GoBoat is a brilliant alternative to city walking tours and a hit with locals and visitors alike.
One-liner
London sightseeing with a twist: by boat, at your own pace.
