An extended scenic route past the castles and under the peaks. Champagne, Swiss cheese, chocolates and a swim stop.
Signature Lake Experience
Four hours with the lake at your own pace. Champagne, Swiss cheese and chocolates, and a route agreed with you in advance.
Wine & fondue
Two very Swiss ways to spend an afternoon or evening on the lake.
Four Shores, wine & cheese
Four guided Swiss wine tastings and four cheese pairings, with fruit, walnuts, honey, artisan bread and soft drinks.
Cheese fondue
Traditional Swiss cheese fondue with mulled wine, served on board under the peaks.
Chocolate fondue
Swiss chocolate fondue with fresh fruit. The one the younger guests remember.
Charter only
The boat, Captain Chris, the fuel and a route built around your day. Bring your own plans, or add food and drinks on request.
Private charter, the boat alone
One hour along the shore, an afternoon of swimming, or a full day of eight hours. You decide the route as you go.
- Up to a full day of eight hours
- Swim stops from two hours, conditions permitting
Winter charter
The lake without a single other boat on it, snow on the peaks and the cabin closed and warm. Perfect with a fondue on board.
How your price is set
Four things decide the final figure. Send them with your enquiry and you have a fixed price within 24 hours.
1 · How long
From one hour to a full day of eight hours. The longer the cruise, the lower the hourly cost.
2 · How many of you
The "from" prices are for up to 4 guests. Five to eight costs more; 9 to 12 is by special arrangement. Children count towards the group.
3 · Which season
Summer runs from April to October. Winter, from November to March, costs more, as fewer boats sail and the cabin is prepared for the cold.
4 · What is on board
Charter only, or a hosted cruise with champagne, cheese, wine or fondue. Cake, flowers or a photographer are quoted separately.
