How it compares to a kayak or a small boat
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GoBoat?
A GoBoat is a personal, inflatable electric boat with a round hull that deflates into a wheeled backpack. A clamp-on 12V trolling motor drives it at about 5 mph, so it launches from any bank with no trailer, ramp, or gas. Once inflated, the hull is rigid and holds its shape, built from a tough drop-stitch composite.
What is the difference between the GoBoat models?
The difference between the GoBoat models is size, layout, and intended use, not how they run. The one-person boats use a round hull, and the two-person Doubles are larger, with an elongated deck and a wider seat for two. Freedom is the recreation setup, and Fish is arranged for angling, with room for rod holders and a cooler, while Wave and Sunset are the Doubles in different colors. Every model shares the same electric motor and drop-stitch construction and tops out around 5 mph. Freedom and Fish come in one- and two-person versions; Wave and Sunset are Double only.
Should I get a one-person or two-person GoBoat?
Get a one-person GoBoat if you will usually go out alone, and a two-person Double if you will regularly bring a passenger. A two-person Double is sized for two adults with room for gear. The trade-off is weight, since the Double is heavier to carry to and from the water.
How much does a GoBoat cost?
A GoBoat's cost depends mainly on the model you choose. One-person boats are the least expensive. The two-person Double models cost more, and the inflatable docks sit below both. The battery is a separate cost, so factor it in when you compare models.
Does a GoBoat come with a battery?
No, a GoBoat does not come with a battery in the base price. It runs on any 12V Group U1 sealed battery, in lithium, AGM, or lead-acid, and the boat holds two at once if you want a full day on the water.
Are GoBoats durable and puncture-resistant?
GoBoats are durable and puncture-resistant, built with a dense PVC hull and come with a patch kit for the rare puncture. GoBoat's manufacturer's warranty is two years on the inflatable and one year on the motor.
Are GoBoats stable, or do they tip easily?
GoBoats are stable and do not tip easily. The round hull spreads buoyancy evenly around a low, centered seat, so it holds steady when you shift your weight. If the inflatable loses air, GoBoat states that both the body and the seat will continue to float. As with any small watercraft, always wear an approved life jacket.
How much weight can a GoBoat hold?
A single GoBoat is rated to hold 600 pounds total, and GoBoat sets 300 pounds as the recommended limit for the person aboard, which leaves room for a battery, a cooler, and gear. The two-person Double is larger and seats two adults with their gear. Load any boat past its rating, and it sits lower and handles worse, the same as any small craft.
How long can you stay on the water on one GoBoat battery?
One GoBoat battery keeps you on the water for a few hours, depending on its amp-hours. GoBoat lists roughly 2 to 4 hours for a 30 Ah battery and 4 to 6 hours for a 50 Ah battery. Running two at once, which the boat is built to hold, stretches that toward a full day, and lower speeds or drifting between spots extend any of those figures.
Is a GoBoat good for fishing?
Yes, a GoBoat works well for fishing, and the Fish is the model set up for it, with rod-holder rails and room for a cooler. The electric trolling motor is quiet, and the round hull stays steady while you cast and reel. It is rated for saltwater, too, so it fishes inshore flats as readily as it does in a farm pond.
