With experience, warmth and a genuine love for what we do we turn every journey into a small adventure.

Sometimes stepping ashore to explore scenic spots, let the kids play at nice lakefront playgrounds or simply take time for coffee and dessert.

Making each cruise feel unique and alive.

Manuela

Co-founder · Skipper · Host

Born in 1984, I live in Weggis right on Lake Lucerne. Since earning my skipper's licence in 2020, I have spent countless nautical hours on the water. With empathy and humour, I make sure the atmosphere on board is relaxed from the first moment. For me, there is no more beautiful workplace.

Favourite spot on the lake

"For me, it is always a highlight to take our guests to the more secluded part of the lake, between Brunnen and Flüelen. Where the highest mountains rise above the historic Rütli meadow, the Tells Chapel and the Schillerstein. This is where I am most impressed by the pure beauty of Swiss nature."

Kristian "Kris"

Co-founder · Skipper · Host

Three years younger than my sister, also based in Central Switzerland. In sunshine, wind and storm, I have spent over 4,700 nautical hours on Lake Lucerne. As an experienced skipper, I love sharing my passion for this lake with our guests. Summer on the water is, for me, the most beautiful time of the year.

Favourite spot on the lake

"For me, nothing beats the skyline of Lucerne after sunset, when the city lights glow and reflect on the water. With the stars above and a deep calm setting in that only comes in the evening, time simply fades away and I am fully in the moment."
