We loved our Go Boat experience and highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was our captain had no jokes to share, but I suppose that’s on me for choosing my company! ,:D

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Goboat. We booked a 2 hr slot which took us down to the powerhouse and back. Was a nice gentle cruise down the Brisbane river marvelling at all of the landmarks, waterfront homes and passersby. The boat itself was easy enough to steer and quickly get the hang of. Staff were friendly and helpful, boat was clean and had what we needed to set sail. We ordered the cheese platter and the quality of the selection was great. If you are wanting a relaxing experience with your loved ones, this is it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Such a fun and unique way to explore Brisbane! Hiring a GoBoat in Brisbane was the perfect way to spend the afternoon on the river. The boats are super easy to drive (no boat license needed!) and the whole experience felt safe, relaxing, and so much fun. Cruising past Newstead House, Waterfront Park, and Teneriffe gave us an amazing new perspective of the area. We packed some snacks from The Standard, and it honestly felt like our own little floating picnic. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole booking and check-in process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a unique Brisbane activity, a family-friendly day out, or something fun to do with friends, I can’t recommend GoBoat enough. Such a memorable way to explore the Brisbane River, we’ll definitely be back!

The Go Boat Brisbane was a nice experience for our family. The boats are all electric and your trip includes a GPS map (mobile phone enabled) that clearly shows your location and route for your excursion. Each boat features an awning (to keep the sun off you and your guests) and a table with drink holders. There is ample seating for up to 8 people. Please bear in mind that the boats are extremely slow. And because the boats are relatively small, you should expect to be bounced up and down in the wake of larger passing boats and watercrafts. The experience of seeing Brisbane from the water is pretty cool. Doing it with people you like could be even more enjoyable.
