A 60-minute electric boat ride along the Guadalquivir — the only navigable river in Spain — through central Seville. Pass the 13th-century Torre del Oro, glide past the Triana neighbourhood (flamenco's historical home), see the Maestranza bullring and the Plaza de España from the water. Quiet electric propulsion (no fumes, no engine noise), open-air upper deck for photos. The right pick for a relaxing afternoon when you've had enough of walking — particularly in summer when the river breeze is the only relief.

- Indoor lower deck is air-conditioned — useful in extreme summer heat

- Wheelchair-accessible boats on most departures
Travellers consistently call this the most relaxing thing to do in Seville — particularly mid-afternoon when the city is hot. Most-cited positives: the breeze, the views of Triana from the water, and the quiet electric propulsion. Most-cited issue: travellers expecting deep historical content find the audio guide brief — this is sightseeing, not a lecture.
