Silver Springs, Florida
EXPERIENCE
FLORIDA SPRINGS
like never before
Discover one of Florida's most beautiful natural treasures from the comfort of your own electric GoBoat — a round boat that's easy to steer and perfect for paddle-free exploring. Crystal-clear spring water, wild rhesus monkeys, manatees, river otters, alligators, and unforgettable wildlife await.
WHAT IS A GOBOAT?
A GoBoat is an easy-to-operate, electric-powered circular inflatable craft — essentially a round boat — built for paddle-free days on the water. Steer with a simple tiller handle and glide silently across the springs — no experience, no paddling, and no noisy gas engine required.
- Electric 35 lb thrust motor with forward and reverse
- Stable inflatable platform — walk, stand, sit or lounge
- Dog-friendly and cooler-friendly
- Quiet, wildlife-friendly and simple enough for first-timers
