An amazing day on the water ☀️

5.00We had an amazing experience renting two boats from Lets Boat in Gothenburg. Everything was incredibly smooth from start to finish. The communication ahead of our rental was clear and helpful, which made the whole process feel very straightforward. Accessing and unlocking the boats was surprisingly easy, and we were out on the water in no time. The whole setup is really well thought through. Most importantly, we had an amazing day on the water—everyone was super happy and had a great time. Highly recommend!

5.00Nice boats that are easy to operate. Didnt know about the water ways of Gothenburg. Tip is to scan the QR-code on the dock to get all the information if you are unsure. Would recommend it!

4.00Nice, relaxing tour around the designated canals. The electric boat was silent. It was tricky getting it started, but after 15 minutes or So we figured it out. Don't expect to get anywhere fast, that's not what this tour is about.
Great fun

4.00Was a little nervous since no one was there to help. But once you are in the boat and figured out how to start the boat, it was fun and enjoyable.

1.00This is the first time I’ve ever written a bad review. We got to the point where we were supposed to get on the boat, followed the directions on the app, and the boat didn’t start. I tried to contact the operator via Trip Advisor, and no response. The boats were plugged in, with no instructions to unplug them, so we weren’t sure if we were supposed to do that on our own or not. I tried to email the company on their website to ask for a refund, and it came back as undeliverable. Later, I did read on the website that you were to unplug it and plug it back in if it didn’t start. But nowhere on Trip Advisor or in the link with the directions did it say that. It would have been nice to know that before I wasted $95

5.00Such a fun experience in Gothenburg! We rented a self-driving electric boat and had the best time. Super easy to book and even easier to steer. A really chill way to explore the city from the water. Totally recommend it! 😊👌
