The boat hire company GoBoat is expanding its range with a hire station for electric excursion boats in Aarhus. With the location at Pier 2, the boat hire company offers its customers the opportunity to sail from the marina in Aarhus along the coast of Riis Kov towards Den Permanente, one of the region's most popular beaches. The hire boats have room for eight people and are equipped with a bathing ladder. A driving licence is not required.

GoBoat has been offering hire boats in various countries since 2014. Their trademark are small electric picnic boats. But until now, GoBoat's hire boats were not suitable for swimming directly from the boat. The company is represented in Australia, the USA, Germany, Sweden and England and has just opened another centre in Venice. But at none of these locations is it possible to swim from the boats. In Aarhus, a new "swim-friendly" model with a swim ladder and anchor is now being trialled for the first time.

"We are looking forward to taking the people of Aarhus and tourists on these cosy trips," explains Anders Mørck, CEO of GoBoat.

Before the trip, each guest receives instruction on how to handle the boat and the correct behaviour on the water. All boats are of course equipped with life jackets. To further increase the safety of guests, a service boat from the hire centre will patrol the area - at a sufficient distance to ensure privacy, GoBoat promises in a press release. If required, the service staff will help guests to moor and unmoor in the harbour and select a suitable anchorage off the beach.
