A guest drives a pink and turquoise GoBoat on calm turquoise water off Antigua's west coast, with a second guest relaxing on the front float and green hills behind.
  • 1. Tell us your ship and all-aboard time. We'll suggest a start time and beach that leave you a comfortable margin to get back to the port.
  • 2. Getting there. A dedicated taxi service is available if needed. Ask us on WhatsApp for transfer times and prices.
  • 3. Drive your GoBoat. No licence needed, just a short safety briefing. Every GoBoat hire includes a free cooler and snorkel gear.

GoBoat hire FAQs

Do I need a boating licence to drive a GoBoat?
A woman steers a GoBoat under its sun shade while her partner stretches out on the front float on a calm sea.

No. No boating licence or experience is needed. Every hire starts with a short safety briefing, and GoBoats are easy to drive: if you can drive a car, you can captain a GoBoat.

How many people fit on one GoBoat?
Two friends cruise side by side on a GoBoat with a sun shade and pink balloon, with a white sailboat in the distance.
Max 2 people per GoBoat. Groups of 3 or 4 take 2 GoBoats.

A maximum of 2 people per GoBoat, children included. Groups of 3 or 4 need 2 boats (1 boat per 2 people, rounded up), and our fleet of 20 GoBoats means groups can go out together.

Can children come?

Yes. Children aged 2 and over are welcome when they ride with a parent, and each child takes one of the 2 seats on the boat. Kids under 12 ride free, ages 12โ€“14 are half price (US$37.50 per hour), and 15 and over pay the adult price.

How much does a GoBoat hire cost?

US$75 per person per hour (US$150 per boat for two). A 2-hour hire is US$150 per person (US$300 per boat). Kids under 12 ride free (ages 2+, with a parent, and they still take one of the 2 seats); ages 12โ€“14 are half price (US$37.50 per hour); 15 and over pay the adult price. Every GoBoat hire includes a free cooler and snorkel gear.

What is included with the hire?
An empty pink and turquoise GoBoat Double with its sun-shade pole and side float on white sand beside clear blue water.

Every GoBoat hire includes a free cooler and snorkel gear. Every hire also includes a short safety briefing, safety gear and a shade canopy.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your safety comes first. If we cancel your hire because of the weather, you get a full refund.

Where do the GoBoats launch from?
Two GoBoats with balloons glide across clear water under a bright blue sky with big white clouds.

From five beaches on Antigua's west coast: Valley Church, Runaway Bay (Mistic Beach Bar), Little Ffryes, Ffryes Beach and Darkwood Beach. Tell us which suits you when you book.

How long can I hire a GoBoat for?

Hires run 1 to 8 hours, full day on request, so you can choose a quick trip or a longer day on the water. We're open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and every hire starts and finishes within those hours, so the last 1-hour hire starts at 4:00 PM.

I'm arriving on a cruise ship. Can I fit a GoBoat hire in and get back to the ship on time?

Yes, cruise passengers are very welcome. Tell us your ship's all-aboard time when you book and we'll suggest a start time that leaves you a comfortable margin to get back to the port. A dedicated taxi service is available if needed: message us on WhatsApp for transfer times and prices. Please note that a GoBoat hire booked with us is not an excursion sold by your cruise line.
