The firm, which currently offers boating experiences in London, trialled its “state-of-the-art vessels” during Bristol Harbour Festival in July.

As well as a self-driving hot tub, Skuna says the three-in-one vessel can also operate as a “picnic city explorer” or a “BBQ boat”.
The UK start-up says it is in discussions with Bristol City Council about bringing its attraction to the harbour permanently from 2024.
Skuna was rated London’s second best experience in the London Tourism Awards 2022 and holds multiple TripAdvisor’s Traveller’s Choice awards since opening in 2018.
