  • Overview

    Set sail from the heart of Melbourne and cruise along the Yarra River on an environmentally-friendly electric boat. Enjoy the sun as you enjoy the freedom of piloting a boat on your own.

    Board your Danish-designed picnic boats, constructed from fiberglass made from recycled PET bottles, and head off along the river.

    Communal recycled timber picnic table included, so pack a picnic basket with you to enjoy under the clear blue sky, and bring a cooler for cold drinks. Choose from a 1, 2, or 3-hour rental and have a relaxing afternoon on the water. Perfect for couples, families and groups of friends, GoBoat is pet friendly too, so all fur babies are welcome.

    Each boat can take up to 8 people (including children), and if you are a bigger group you can book multiple boats at once.

    Gather your crew and jump aboard!

    Great afternoon out on the lake, very calm and comfortable. Good boating trip for a family friendly or with friends afternoon. Take a few drinks or make a picnic. Boat we hired did have cover, it is small and comfortable enough to fit 6-8 people.

    I’ve had two bookings with GoBoat Canberra this year - once for my anniversary with my husband and then more recently for my birthday with a group of eight. Both times were so much fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves! It’s the perfect day out in Canberra. We will definitely be back again and again! Thanks GoBoat team 😊

    We had an incredible time with a few of our friends on the go boat. The views are absolutely stunning and highly recommend getting a late afternoon booking to get the sunset colours A fantastic team and great service all round

    Great experience for my (three years late) birthday present. Relaxing, fun and a great way to see Canberra from the water. Recommend this experience to all. Staff have fantastic communication, very considerate, friendly and (minor) issues are promptly rectified. Very happy customer and looking forward to coming back.

    Fantastic experience! Booked for 3 hours which was ample time to get up and back with time to dock for food. Staff were really helpful and gave a clear map with instructions. Will definitely book again!

    • In the interests of the people who will rent the boat after you, we do not allow fishing from the GoBoat. We will charge a $100 cleaning fee for the boat if it is used for fishing and soiled.
    • We have a great selection of drinks you can order at the counter. At some of our locations you can also pre-order food, and it will display during the booking process if available
    • You can bring your own food and drinks.
    •  Just like when you rent a car, or stay at a hotel, we will take either a small pre-authorisation on your credit card (Visa/Mastercard only) or hold $200 on your debit card (or cash). The security deposit is refunded in full when the boat is returned undamaged at the end of your rental.
    • We have lifejackets down to XS bambino size. You don't need to request a life jacket in advance, but you should let our crew know you need a child life jacket at the counter when checking in, as it is a requirement that anybody under 12 years old wear a life jacket at all times while on the boat.
    • GoBoat is very doggo-friendly.
    • You may consume alcohol (up to 2 drinks per person may be taken on board), but any antisocial behaviour or intoxication can lead to the boat being remotely disabled and your booking cut short. No refunds will be given if this happens.
    • There is no age restriction on being a passenger in the boat, but the nominated skipper must be 18 years old
  • GoBoat has a super-flexible Cancellation Policy!

    • Up to 72 hours (3 days) before your booking you can cancel with no penalty for a full credit, or a refund.
    • Between 24-72 hours only a credit will be offered, and catering cannot be cancelled within 48 hours. GoBoat does not accept cancellations within 24 hours of a booking as it is unfair to our crew who've been rostered to welcome you, and to other guests who may have wished to book. 
    • You may either edit your own booking using the link in your confirmation email, or request your cancellation by contacting the GoBoat location you booked with by email. We require the cancellation to be by email for record-keeping purposes, and to ensure no funny business!
    • Payment processing fees paid by GoBoat will be deducted from your refund as a direct cost.
  • Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.

    If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.
