About GoBoat
GoBoat was started in Berlin in 2021 as a joint venture between Danish boat rental company, GoBoat ApS, and the German boat rental company, SolarWaterWorld. Both companies rent out electric boats. The partnership brings the internationally renowned GoBoat brand to Germany for the first time.
GoBoat offers sustainable, social experiences on the water. The brand was founded in 2014 in Copenhagen and is 100 percent owned by Kasper Eich-Romme, Carl Rand and Anders Ekelund Mørck.
The first GoBoat location opened at Islands Brygge in Copenhagen. Starting with just 8 boats in 2014, GoBoat now manages around 60 boats in Denmark. Globally, GoBoat operates approximately 220 rental boats across Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Italy, England, the USA, Colombia, and Australia. Learn more about all our locations here.
GoBoat works closely together with local authorities (harbor, police etc.), municipalities as well as several NGOs.

Social sailing
GoBoats are designed with the social experience in mind. Each boat fits 8 people with a picnic table in the middle to create the best social experience.
The Danish "hygge" is a big part of the experience - regardless of which country or location you are sailing in.
The social aspect is also part of GoBoat's culture as we insist on social events, e.g. the yearly season's end party, and having fun while working.

GoBoat's work with sustainability
As part of GoBoat's DNA, sustainability is important for us. Sailing in clean water is just more fun. Therefore, we work on creating the smallest carbon footprint as possible and protecting the sensitive harbor environment.
We have chosen electric motors rather than gasoline ones. We lend fishing nets to children so they can clean up the water. We often do "clean ups" with various NGOs.
GoBoat culture
To ensure that our guests have extraordinary experiences sailing with GoBoat, our crew of friendly and helpful employees are carefully chosen based on their competences and knowledge and most importantly their great personalities. We work hard on creating the best culture where everyone feels included.
As a seasonal experience company with locations all over the world, we often do exchanges: Colleagues from Australia working in Denmark, Germany, UK and the other way round.
