The GoBoat experience

It's the perfect way to enjoy the lagoon with friends, family and colleagues in the fresh air. You are the captain, and you decide where to go and in the phase that fits you - Nice right?

The Danish word "Hygge" is a big part of the boat experience. Our Danish-designed rental boats have a picnic table in the middle, while the electric motor is almost silent. This makes it ideal for enjoying a quiet and calm sailing trip with room for picnics and good conversation on board.

While sailing should be fun and relaxing, we are aware that our impact on the environment should be as small as possible. Our maritime history teaches us to respect the water and the environment around us.

We want to share this respect with you as a captain, so that together we take care of the water. Most of our sustainability initiatives are taken care of by us, so you can enjoy the trip at your leisure.
