Just in time for the festive season, GoBoat is launching the Winter Pod at Canary Wharf, a magical, one-of-a-kind way to experience London’s waterways in winter.
Step aboard for a warm, weatherproof escape filled with festive touches, sparkling lights, and unrivalled comfort. Whether you’re gathering after work, planning a family adventure, or seeking a memorable night out, the Winter Pod offers a truly unique setting.
A Cosy, All-Weather Experience on the Water
Unlike anything else on London’s water, the Winter Pod features a full wraparound cover and a single, boat-wide heated seat cushion, fully adjustable by guests for the perfect level of toasty comfort.
The innovative polycarbonate roof lets you gaze up at the iconic Canary Wharf skyline and Docklands architecture, while clear canvas sides provide super-clear, panoramic views in every direction. Rain, snow, or chilly nights are no match for the Winter Pod’s warmth and protection.
Each two-hour experience includes:
Private hire of the Winter Pod boat (for up to 8 people)
A boat-wide heated seat cushion, adjustable by guests for all-over warmth
The Winter Pod’s exclusive wraparound cover for magical, all-weather comfort
Complimentary warm mulled wine on arrival
Cosy blankets, throws, and cushions
Festive interior decorations and atmospheric lighting for a magical mood
Bluetooth speaker so you can play your own music
Golden hour and after dark sailing trips available
The Winter Pod is fully lit for evening trips, making night-time boating a magical new way to see Canary Wharf and the Docklands sparkle.
Perfect for Groups, Families, and Corporate Escapes
The Winter Pod is designed for all ages, with life jackets available from newborn upwards and dogs welcome aboard. It’s ideal for after-work socials, family outings, festive get-togethers, and even corporate events looking for something a little different. With a fixed price of £229 per boat (just £28.63 per person based on 8 sharing), it’s an accessible way to create unforgettable winter memories in the heart of London.
Special Launch Offer for November
To celebrate the launch of the Winter Pod, GoBoat is offering a special opening price of £199 per boat for all trips in November. This limited time offer allows guests to enjoy a saving of £30 off the standard price. Each Winter Pod accommodates up to eight people, making it just £24.88 per person at the special rate.
Sustainable, Silent Cruising
All GoBoat vessels, including the Winter Pod, are powered by rechargeable electric outboard motors that don’t pollute the waterways and are whisper quiet, meaning they don’t disturb wildlife or neighbours. It’s a sustainable, peaceful way to experience London from a new perspective.
Grant Sweeney, Co-Owner of GoBoat UK, said:
“Winter in London doesn’t have to mean staying indoors. With the Winter Pod, we wanted to create a truly unique experience, combining comfort, warmth and the magic of London’s waterways, even after dark. Whether you’re celebrating with friends, bringing the family, or looking for a new way to see the city, the Winter Pod is all about making the most of winter in style.”
Bookings are now open for trips from Wednesday 5th November. To reserve your Winter Pod experience or check availability, visit goboat.co.uk/canary-wharf .
