Food and drinks for the trip
When sailing with GoBoat, it's always a good idea to bring food and drinks on board. A little picnic at sea makes your time on the water more enjoyable.
You're always welcome to bring your own, but to make it a little easier, you can easily order food and drinks online from our friends at Nhow Hotel when you book your sailing trip.
How to be a good captain
To steer a GoBoat, place your dominant hand on the handle. Be aware that the handle steers in the opposite direction of where you are pointing. To sail forward and reverse, twist the handle to the right to sail forward and to the left to reverse.
Keep a watchful eye on other boaters and always observe the direction of travel, react in good time as a boat cannot turn or brake very quickly. As a general rule, keep to the right - as in traffic.
The yellow buoys indicate shallow water, so please keep your distance from these areas to avoid getting stuck.
Spread the good vibes and wave to other sailors and passers-by on the quay.
Watch a video about safety on the water
When you sail with GoBoat, safety is our number one priority, both for you and other users of the harbor. That's why it's important that you feel well prepared for your trip on the water. When you book, you'll get even more specific instructions, both digitally and before departure from our crew.
Watch the safety video to be as prepared as possible so you know about safe boating, rules, how to control the boat and general safe behavior.
Benefits of sailing
Water has a unique ability to calm the mind and strengthen the body and soul. The lapping of the sea and the fresh air reduces stress, energizes and promotes health. Whether you're swimming, sailing or walking, water creates a balance that is likely to improve your quality of life.
