Escape reality with an award-winning experience

GOBOAT Australia’s founder and managing director Nick Tyrell said while he was hoping for the best at the ACT 2023 Telstra Best of Business Awards, he planned for the worst.

“I didn’t have a speech written, but in the end I was really proud to accept the award of Outstanding Growth on behalf of the GoBoat team,” he said.

The business opened in Canberra in 2017 with only four boats, says Nick.

“Our fifth birthday was in October, and we now have 70 boats,” he said, offering Australia’s “favourite electric picnic boat experience.”

“It is a nice way for people to escape daily life and spend more quality time with people they care about.

“I think there’s a real disconnect, being out on the water, from the world around you and from daily life, and I’m more and more excited about being able to offer that to more and more people.”

Nick said GoBoat continued to grow throughout COVID-19.

“We are also proud to now be making our boats right here in Australia, securing future growth pathways and creating more jobs,” he said.

The fleet of more than 70 eco-friendly electric boats operates at six locations across Australia – Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Geelong and the Gold Coast.
