(e) Questions
Cotee River GoBoat FAQ
Do I need boating experience to rent a boat on the Cotee River?
No. A GoBoat is steered with a simple throttle and moves at about 5 mph, so it feels closer to a slow, quiet paddle boat than a powerboat. We walk you through the controls and the safety basics before you leave the shore, and life jackets are worn as instructed.

Drop & Go rentals are booked for a full day, three days or a week — never by the hour. That gives you time to wander the river, tie up for lunch and come back for sunset without watching the clock.
Can we bring our dog?
Yes. Dogs are welcome on Coastal Cruisers GoBoat cruises, and the quiet electric motor keeps the day calm for nervous passengers.
