Swimming leads to fines and expulsion
We know it's tempting to jump into the cool water when you're on a GoBoat. The sun is shining and you need to cool down, but swimming from a GoBoat is strictly forbidden. It is not allowed to swim outside the marked bathing zones/harbor baths in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. By swimming, you risk fines from the police and expulsion from the GoBoat.
Safety when sailing with GoBoat
One thing is that it is illegal to swim from a GoBoat, another is that there is also a lot of risk involved. When sailing around the harbor at our Danish locations, there are often many other vessels that don't necessarily see people swimming. As a swimmer, you are therefore not only a danger to yourself, but also to others.
We recommend that you swim either before or after your GoBoat sailing trip in the marked zones where it is allowed.
