Torqeedo powers GoBoat London
A group enjoy a sightseeing trip with GoBoat London, powered by a Torqeedo motor.
Moored at Paddington Basin, GoBoat London offers Londoners and tourists alike the opportunity to explore London in a new way this summer, by chartering their own electric boat.
Sustainability is a core principle of GoBoat London; 80 per cent of each of the company’s boats are made from recycled plastic, any wood used on the boats are sourced sustainably and the electric Torqeedo motors that power them ensure minimal noise and no environmental pollution.
Grant Sweeney, founder of GoBoat London, said: “It was really important that the ethos of GoBoat remained green. So, when we were looking for a way to power our boats, Torqeedo’s electric motors were the obvious choice. They are environmentally friendly and really quiet, meaning that people can enjoy their trip along the canals without having to talk over the sound of an engine. They are also really straightforward to use, and you do not need a license to drive one of our boats, meaning that anyone can have the freedom of going on their own adventure on the water.”
GoBoat London groups can travel along the waterways at 3 ½ knots, approximately 4mph. Ideal for picnics, each boat is set up with seating around a central table, creating a sociable space for friends and families, with kids and dogs welcome on board. You can even bring a bottle of bubbly with you and GoBoat will provide cosy blankets in case the weather turns chilly.
With prices starting from £59 for one hour, customers can invite up to seven friends to join them, making this a great value activity at just over £7 per head.
