20 raring2go.co.uk Raring2go! Take to the Thames with GoBoat As the sun comes back out and summer is on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to try a new outdoor activity. With no prior boating knowledge necessary, GoBoat is a unique and eco-friendly experience that gives you first-hand access to a stunning section of the River Thames. Climb aboard your GoBoat and set off from Riverside Walk, with a choice of two beautiful routes for you to explore. Head down the river to scenic Teddington Lock or upriver as far as Molesey Lock for spectacular views of Hampton Court Palace from the water. GoBoats are easy to drive, with no prior experience required. GoBoat crew will provide your designated captain with a full boating handover, a map and information about the route before you set sail, and each boat is fully supplied with safety equipment. The ride is a casual 3 ½ knots, approximately 4mph, the perfect cruising speed for a lazy waterways journey. Each GoBoat has seating around a central table creating a sociable space ideal for picnics, with space for up to eight passengers (and there’s even room for the dog!) Unlike other self-drive boating experiences, the driver of the boat also sits around the table, allowing for easy conversation and social connection. Bring your own picnic from home or pick up food from one of the many restaurants and cafes that Kingston has to offer before boarding. It’s the perfect experience for the whole family and life jackets are provided for all passengers under the age of 16. GoBoats are powered by an almost silent electric motor, an eco-friendlier alternative to petrol engines. The deck and table are made from sustainably sourced forestry wood and the foam kernel is made of 80 per cent recycled PET - the equivalent of 600 plastic bottles. It’s time to relish the freedom of being your own captain and explore the UK’s waterways! Book your GoBoat adventure online now at goboat.co.uk.
