The vessel · Lake Thun

This is not a scheduled boat tour.

No shared cruises. No public timetable. No crowded deck. Just your time on the water.

  • Up to 12 guests
  • Swiss commercial licence
  • Inspected annually
  • Berthed in Merligen

There is one boat, and it is never shared. Booking a charter is not booking seats on it. It is booking all of it, for the hours you choose, with nobody aboard but your own party and the captain.

Big enough for twelve. Small enough for the coves the scheduled boats cannot reach.

Comfort & space

Open-air panoramic layout, the lake on every side and nothing between you and it
Lounge-style seating you can actually sit around, not benches in a row
Teak deck and premium finishes
Retractable canopy for shade, or open to the sky, changed in a minute
Swim ladder at the stern for lake stops
Side windows and a soft-top cover for cool or wet weather
Smooth, stable cruising
Routes shaped around your occasion, not a timetable

What it is not

Better said here than discovered at the pontoon.

There is no restroom on board

Facilities are available at the departure point, so please use them before boarding. On longer charters a stop can be planned.

Boarding is by steps

There is no full wheelchair access. Tell us in advance and assistance is arranged; the deck is stable once you are aboard.

Twelve is a legal limit, not an estimate

The vessel is licensed for commercial passenger transport, and that number does not bend.

Licensed and professionally operated

Very few boats on Lake Thun hold a Swiss commercial passenger transport licence. It is what allows a private charter to carry paying guests at all, and it is why this boat cannot simply be hired out by anyone.

  • Commercially registered for passenger transport on Lake Thun
  • Fully insured and regularly inspected
  • Maintained to Swiss navigation requirements
  • Approved life jackets for every passenger, adult and child
  • Member of the Swiss Nautic Union
  • Every charter personally captained by Chris

What it is for

Quiet scenic cruising. Champagne apéritifs. Castles from the water and waterfalls on the far shore. Swim stops in July. Golden hour in September. The boat does not decide which. You do, on the day, with the captain.
