Concierge & partner reservations

Your recommendation reflects your reputation.

One direct contact. One captain. One accountable operator.

Swiss commercial licence Max 12 guests Departs Merligen 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

01
Nothing is subcontractedEvery 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.
02
You get an answer in hours, not daysDuring 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.
03
Everything is in writingDate, 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.

1   Date, and the departure window if the guest has one
2   Number of guests
3   The occasion — it changes the route more than the duration does
4   Preferred language on board
5   Anything to know — mobility, children, allergies, 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 packages — 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, daily from 09:00 until sunset, April to October. 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.
