Maybe with a picnic and something nice to drink? Preferably close to the water, as an adventure or as something relaxed? And at the same time doing it in an environmentally friendly electric boat, with virtually no noise from the engine? Without the fuzz, no sails to take care of or expensive smelly boat fuel?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s exactly what we thought too and that is why we started BookaBoat in 2015. Our idea is to help people to hang out and enjoy life for a moment. We do that by providing splendid and self-serviced electrical boats in the canals of Malm\u00f6. Easy, flexible, spontaneous. It is our hope that this service can be available for as many as possible, and give everyone the opportunity to create their own new lovely memories. We think we are getting there. Thousands of people have now taken trips in our boats, among them we have had several marriage proposals (with a 100% success rate!) and bridal couples that have used our classy boats to make their special day a little extra unforgettable.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; image=&#8221;2116&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; el_class=&#8221;rotate&#8221;][vc_single_image img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; image=&#8221;2119&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; image=&#8221;2118&#8243;][vc_single_image img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; image=&#8221;2114&#8243; el_class=&#8221;rotate&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_layout=&#8221;full-width-background&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Green and clean<\/h2>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<p>Our boats are 100% electric and the electricity we use is 100% produced from wind power. By using our boats you contribute to keep emission in the city center down and also help minimize noise pollution. Our jetty has a special construction which decreases the impact on the environment and when in the future it is time to scrap it, more of the materials can be recycled from it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">For a vibrant Malm\u00f6<\/h2>\n<p>We love Malm\u00f6 and like to contribute to making the town vibrant and alive. This city has something unique in its canals, the longest usable in Sweden while at the same time people don\u00b4t tend to think of Malm\u00f6 as a city with canals. What opportunities could be developed originating from the canals to enrich the city centre creating both joy and value for us living here? With BookaBoat we want to combine Malm\u00f6\u00b4s maritime history with the city\u00b4s current character as a hotspot for digital service development to explore this and increase the awareness about the incredible potential with the canals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The people behind BookaBoat<\/h2>\n<p>We, the founders of BookaBoat, are Ren\u00e9 Nordstrand Heunen and Gustav Widerstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ren\u00e9<\/strong> has his origin in the Netherlands, came to Malm\u00f6 in 2012 and has since many years been engaged in the areas of energy and sustainable transportation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gustav<\/strong> is born and raised in Malm\u00f6.
