GoBoat has halted alcohol consumption on its self-driving rental boats following community protests citing disturbances linked to drunken passengers. The luxury service, GoBoat Luxe, is designed for small groups and includes a qualified skipper to oversee customers. Local residents and barge owners report ongoing issues such as public indecency, harassment, and property damage, asserting that the ban on drinking has led to improvements. They fear a return to previous conditions if alcohol is permitted again, highlighting an increase in disruptive behavior from intoxicated individuals during earlier operations.
We residents on the canal have quite enough to deal with...without rowdy, antisocial behaviour by GoBoat punters.
They said the situation improved markedly when GoBoat stopped people taking drinks on board but feared allowing the practice to return would...mean a return to the bad old days.
