Now this is a wonderful and unusual experience! We did the one hour tour in the Grand canal and it was lovely. Boat so easy to drive, scenery calming and soothing. I guess the 3 hour tour up to Camden would be even more enjoyable. Grab snacks and drinks (not alcoholic though) and try it. Is is totally worth it!

We rented a boat for two hours in the Paddington route. All the family had a great time! It was easy to sail and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The sights along the canal were lovely! 100% recommend this experience.

We had such a wonderful time at GoBoat Paddington! The electric boat was easy to steer, and it was great not needing a license. Cruising along the peaceful canals, especially near Little Venice and Regent’s Park, was truly relaxing and beautiful. The boat was quiet and eco-friendly, which made the experience even better. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout. It was perfect for our group, and the life jackets made it feel safe for the kids too. Just a heads-up—there are no toilets on board, so plan ahead. Overall, a unique and enjoyable way to see a different side of London. Highly recommend it!

We had a lovely time yesterday at Paddington. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We got lucky with the weather too which made our 2 hour trip even more enjoyable! Lots to see along the canal, perfect for all ages and the boat was very easy to drive. Fun had by all.

Fantastic experience! Staff were friendly and explained to us clearly how to operate the boat and navigate the canal. You are then off at a very leisurely pace down the canal. The canal is quiet and scenic at certain spots which makes for the perfect trip! Boat is in good shape and whilst we did get stuck at a few points, the handy boat hook plus instructions at the beginning got us out. Controlling the boat is an easy affair once you get used to it and I found using small motions to operate the tiller instead of making big ones gave me better control. It was only 2 of us in the boat but has the capacity for up to 8 so perfect for all occasions and party sizes. We went for the 2 hour trip, first thing in the morning which I feel was the perfect length and the canal was pretty quiet too in terms of other boats traffic. Would highly recommend! Book now!
