  • Relaxing canal tour

    Nice, 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

    Was 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.

    This 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

    Such 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! 😊👌

    Very smooth with clear instructions how to do! Loved that you could bring your own snacks and drink. Then to see Gothenburg from the water and control the speed and what route you wanted to do! Absolutely magical!! Highly recommended!!

    Due to advance booking unfortunately started in heavy rain boat trip. There was no employee on site, i.e. you have to self-train. Had the boat two hours, therefore also went out to the "big water". Points of reference described in Swedish were not entirely clear to us, so we drove too far. Hence adventurous ride. Recommended in sunshine and calm waters
