Day boat company can sell alcohol to customers
Briefly

Westminster City Council has approved GoBoat's application to sell beer and wine on its pleasure boat cruises, allowing two cans of beer per customer or a shared bottle of wine. Despite residents expressing fears of increased antisocial behavior, including public indecency and property damage, GoBoat co-founder Julian Wootton assured that the service will be controlled and aimed at providing a serene experience. The council's decision comes with conditions, including installing CCTV and banning spirits, reflecting a balance between local concerns and business interests.
GoBoat’s co-founder argued that selling alcohol would "retain a lot of that control" and help provide customers with a "high-quality professional operation."
Local residents voiced concerns over public indecency and property damage, fearing that allowing alcohol sales could exacerbate issues of antisocial behavior on the canals.
