Disclosed is a water skimmer which floats on the surface of a body of water. The skimmer is propelled by an on-board propulsion unit, and collects and traps floating debris along its movement path. A guide mechanism is provided to sense the presence of obstacles in the path of the skimmer. The guide mechanism acts on a thrust vectoring means in response to a detected obstacle to change the direction of motion of the skimmer.
