Unforgettable Experience on the Gold Coast!
We were gifted a 2-hour GoBoat+ experience, and it turned out to be one of the best moments of our lives on the Gold Coast. My parents and my wife were absolutely thrilled. It was the kind of gift that becomes a lifelong memory for the whole family. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat was amazing, the scenery was stunning, and the experience felt truly special. A memory we’ll never forget. A huge shoutout to Steve, who was incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. Thanks especially for the tip to start recording the pirralhos on jet skis (some cheeky kids) who tried several times to splash us; once they noticed we were filming, they quickly backed off. Classic! We highly recommend this company and the GoBoat+ experience. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much, GoBoat team, for such an unforgettable day!
We had an amazing time watching the sunset on the Gold Coast with GoBoat today!
The electric boat experience was so relaxing and easy to use. Felipe was absolutely fantastic – super friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed before heading out. His great service really made our experience even better. We’ll definitely come back again next time. Highly recommend GoBoat and Felipe!

Using the electric Go Boats was a good way to spend time with family.
It was even great for my wife's grandparents who both just turned 89, to see the channels and have some nice food, without any break neck speeds or dangerous jolts. They felt safe. Bring a blanket though it can be cold out there at times. Max who works for Go Boats was exceptional. He made the whole process easy and gave us a great deal. He was friendly, confident and reliable. Many thanks Max.
Absolutely phenomenal experience, guys!!
We'll definitely come back! Thanks, Jake - incredible job you did, mate!!
