BookaBoat Malmö

A Canal view of Malmo

Karan from Malmö

"You don't need a boat license or fancy equipment, but need to be over 18 years old to drive the boat. The boat is a 100% electric and extremely quiet."

Malmo, like Copenhagen, Venice, or Amsterdam, is characterized by a network of canals that bring a unique charm to the city. What served a historical purpose with the Herring trade has now turned into the veins and arteries of this Scandinavian gem of a city. Walk around the cobbled streets or the parks of Malmo in the summer, and you will likely see people in Kayaks or private boats sailing through the canals and into the open waters of the Baltic Sea.

True to Swedish culture, experiencing Malmo via the canals isn't just an experience reserved for those with their own boats but rather available to anyone who wants to navigate the canals and get a new perspective on the city.

With BookaBoat Malmo, you can easily rent a self-serviced boat and make your way through the canals on your own. You don't need a boat license or fancy equipment, but need to be over 18 years old to drive the boat. A short walk from the central station, equipped with lifejackets, rainproof ponchos and a bluetooth speaker, BookaBoat offers everything you need for a fun trip. True to Scandinavia’s sustainability, the boat is a 100% electric, fossil free, and extremely quiet.

So, if the sun is out, and you want to explore Malmo with your family or friends, why not head on over to BookaBoat and fulfil your dream of driving a boat?
