Concierge & partner reservations

- Fully private only
- Net partner rates
Boat Tour Interlaken is a fully private, Swiss-licensed commercial charter operation on Lake Thun, built for hotels, concierge teams, travel designers and luxury advisors serving international guests.
When you send a guest, you are not sending them to a booking platform or a rotating skipper. You are sending them to one named operator who answers his own phone and is accountable for the result.
Why partners send guests here
Nothing is subcontracted
Every charter is captained by Chris personally. No rotating crews, no third-party skippers, no chance of your guest meeting someone who has never heard of you.
An answer in hours, not days
During the season, partner enquiries are answered within a few hours, including same-day and last-minute requests, so you can move when a guest changes plans at breakfast.
Everything is in writing
Date, time, departure point, duration, guest count and total price, confirmed in writing before anything is charged. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are stated, not implied.

To quote a guest in one message
Send these five things and you will have a firm price and a held slot the same day.
- 1DateAnd the departure window, if the guest has one.
- 2Number of guestsChildren and babies count towards the total.
- 3The occasionIt changes the route more than the duration does.

- 5Anything to knowMobility, children, allergies, or a surprise to protect.
Guest names are only needed at confirmation. Nothing about a proposal ever reaches the other party.
Partner rates and commission
Net partner rates and referral arrangements are available to qualified hotels, concierge teams, travel advisors and destination specialists.
Standard private charters follow a straightforward commission structure. Hosted cruises, with champagne, food and curated onboard hospitality, are quoted individually according to what is included.
Ask for the rate card and it is sent the same day, as a single PDF you can keep at the desk.
Availability
Advance reservation only, all year, daily from 08:00 until sunset and subject to conditions. In peak season, April to September, early booking is strongly advised: there is one boat, and once a slot is gone there is no second deck to open.
Short-notice and same-day requests can often be accommodated. If a guest's plans change at breakfast, it is still worth asking.
One message is enough.
