Rent a boat in Switzerland

Breathtaking landscapes and crystal-clear fresh water

With so many lakes, Switzerland is naturally a sailing nation and a dream for boat lovers. Renting is straightforward, which makes it the perfect choice for an evening after work, a weekend, or a proper holiday.

Explore the spectacular lakes of this alpine paradise: each region has its own water, its own wind and its own way of finishing the day at a restaurant you can only reach by boat.

Where to rent a boat in Switzerland

Six regions, six very different days on the water.

Zürich

This is where it all started for navi-gate. The Zürichsee and the Walensee are fantastic for day trips and watersports, all within a stone's throw of Switzerland's biggest city.

Romandie

Renting a boat on Lac Léman or Lac de Neuchâtel is simple and absolutely magical. The two best-known lakes of French-speaking Switzerland are big enough for a day out or for something considerably longer.

The Vierwaldstättersee is a lake you come back to. And do not forget the Sempachersee and the Zugersee, both charming, both with restaurants you can reach from the water.

Eastern Switzerland

Lake Constance — the Bodensee — is ideal for a holiday in Switzerland. Renting for a whole week and waking up somewhere new every day, in Austria, Germany or Switzerland, is a very common plan here.
