Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
Moored at Paddington Basin, GoBoat London are offering locals and tourists alike the opportunity to explore London in a new way this summer, by chartering their own electric boat, with all boats being powered by an electric Torqeedo motor. Sustainability is a core principle of GoBoat London, and 80% of each of the company’s boats is made from recycled plastic. Any wood used on the boats is sourced sustainably, and the electric Torqeedo motors ensure minimal noise and no environmental pollution.
GoBoat London groups can travel along the waterways at 3.5 knots (approximately 4mph). Each boat is set up with seating around a central table, making them particularly suitable for picnics and creating a sociable space for friends and families, with kids and dogs welcome on board. GoBoat will provide blankets in case the weather turns chilly.
