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.
