FAQ for GoBoat Harbor Tours

Booking and cancellation

Can I get a seat on the canal tour without booking in advance?

We recommend that you book in advance. But if you want to take it as it comes, you can always try your luck and show up.

How do I cancel my booking?

You can choose to rebook or receive a 100% voucher up to 24 hours before sailing. In your order confirmation you will find a link where you can edit your ticket or cancel your sailing and receive a voucher instead.

You can cancel your booking and get a refund up to 72 hours before departure. This cannot be done automatically. Please read your booking confirmation that you received by email to get a refund. It usually takes up to 10 business days for the refund to appear in your account.

If your sailing is less than 24 hours away, it is not possible to rebook, get a voucher or get a full refund. The voucher is valid for 12 months.

The 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to GoBoat Harbor Tours bookings, cf. section 18(2) and (3) of the Consumer Contracts Act.

Do you offer a cancellation protection?

Yes, you can purchase a cancellation protection when you book your place on the boat. With the guarantee, you are free to cancel your booking up to 4 hours before your sailing - for any reason.

Without a cancellation protection, our normal cancellation policy applies, which you can read above. Please note that the cancellation protection does not cover fresh food and drinks purchased online such as tapas, pizza or sandwiches.

You can opt for the cancellation protection when you book. It cannot be added after you have finalized the booking. If you want to opt for the cancellation protection, it must be purchased for each ticket. I.e. if you book two tickets, you need to have two times the cancellation protection to cover both tickets. The cancellation protection cannot be canceled or refunded. The protection can be purchased if you book more than 72 hours in advance.

If you have opted for the cancellation protection and wish to use it, please edit your booking no later than 4 hours before the sailing starts. If you want a refund, please check your booking confirmation, which you received by email, for details.
The 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to the cancellation protection, as it starts as soon as you have booked.

Before the sailing trip

Is it possible to go to the toilet at GoBoat Harbor Tours?


GoBoat does not have its own toilet facilities at Islands Brygge. However, from April-September you can use the public toilet, which is a 2-minute walk from the base. Otherwise, you can ask at Kulturhuset, which is a 5-minute walk from GoBoat.

Is it possible to buy food and drinks for GoBoat Harbor Tours?

Yes, we have a wide selection at Islands Brygge. Including water, snacks, sodas, beer and wine.

What if it rains, blows or thunders?

If it rains, we recommend wearing rainwear and/or bringing an umbrella if the wind permits. We sell biodegradable rain covers.

Even if it's thundering and lightning, it's still safe to sail. If the wind is strong, the boats will sail slower and therefore it may not be possible to sail as far away.

If the wind is too strong for our boats to sail, we reserve the right to cancel your sailing trip. In this case, you decide whether you want to rebook, get a voucher or a refund. You will be called on the day of your sailing trip in case of cancellation.

Rain, lightning and thunder are not reasons for cancellation on our part. If you wish to cancel yourself, our normal cancellation terms and conditions apply.

Yes. Life jackets for adults are stored on the boats. We also have life jackets for children and babies, which are handed out by our staff before departure.

Yes, we do. We have life jackets down to 5 kg. Life jackets for children and babies are provided by our crew before departure.
