What are you here for?

The boat is always the same. The day never is.

Always private Daily 09:00 – sunset Up to 12 guests Hosted by Captain Chris 5.0 · 195+ reviews

Seven reasons people book the boat. Every one of them is the same vessel, the same captain and the same promise — no shared decks, no rotating crew, no fixed route.

We sail every day from nine in the morning until the sun goes down. What changes is the hour you leave, what is on the table, and what the day is for.

Sunset & golden hour

The reason most guests come. We leave late enough that the peaks turn gold behind you and the water goes completely still. There is a stretch off the north shore where the engine comes down to nothing and nobody speaks for a while.

Proposals

Handled with the discretion it deserves. We agree the moment, the spot and the signal before you board — where the boat turns so the light is behind you, where the champagne is already waiting, and how the captain becomes invisible for three minutes. Nobody has said no yet.

The Signature

The full length of the lake: castles from the water, the Niesen ahead, the waterfalls on the far shore. Champagne, Swiss cheese and chocolates on board, and a swim stop when the water allows. Two hours is the classic; three lets you stop wherever you feel like it.

Four Shores — wine & cheese

Lake Thun has vineyards, and almost nobody knows. Four of them, on steep terraces, invisible from the road and perfectly clear from the water. Four wines, four cheeses chosen for them, and one sealed bottle per guest to take home.

Fondue on the water

The most Swiss thing you can do on a lake, and the one nobody expects to be able to book. Traditional cheese fondue with a Swiss wine, or chocolate fondue with fresh fruit — prepared on board, eaten under the peaks. It works best when the air is cold and the light is going.

Swimming & family days

The daytime version, and the only one you cannot do from the shore. We anchor away from every beach and every lido, drop the ladder, and you swim off the back of the boat into water clear enough to see the bottom. No crowd, no towels three metres from your own, no queue for the pontoon.

The route bends to whoever is having the best time. Bring your own picnic or let us arrange it. Best from July to early September, when the water is warm enough to stay in.

How we handle the swim stop

  The swim comes before the champagne, never after.
  Engine off, boarding ladder down, and your captain stays aboard the whole time.
  We anchor clear of shipping lanes and scheduled boat routes.
  Children swim with an adult in the water. Buoyancy aids are on board.
  The swim stop is always optional, and always at the captain's discretion — water, weather and traffic decide.

Tailor-made & corporate

No fixed route, no fixed format. Half-day charters, combined land and lake itineraries, executive hosting, or an occasion that fits none of the above. Write to Captain Chris directly and it gets built around you.
