2 Sailing Tours in Switzerland to Build a Day Around

1.Lake Lucerne 1-Hour Catamaran Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 98 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $36Our pick

Take a one-hour round trip from Lucerne to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock on Lake Lucerne. The ride offers wide mountain views, indoor and outdoor seating, Wi-Fi, toilets, and sometimes onboard snacks and drinks. It is a public ferry-style service, not a narrated sightseeing tour, and the vessel may not always be a catamaran.

“The cruise is lovely but it definitely wasn’t a catamaran and was just the standard ferry that travels back and forward across the lake. Feel the advertising was quite misleading.”

2.Private sailing cruise on Lake Geneva from Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $204Top rated

Join Nico for a private three-hour sail from Cologny on Lake Geneva. Learn basic sailing, help with the sails or steering, view Geneva and Mont Blanc, and, if conditions allow, pass through the Jet d’Eau spray. The 24-foot monohull suits couples, families, and small groups.

“This experience with Nico was the best experience that we've ever had on a boat. Nico is so experienced and so personal. He ensured that we was comfortable and enjoyed the entire experienced. He catered it to our interest and taught us so many valuable sailing lessons. He is passionate and skilled and developed our love for sailing and boating even more. We plan to continue learning to sail and next time we're in Geneva we will certainly book with him again. 10000% Recommend, worth every penny and more. This was the best part of our vacation in Geneva. Nico you was awesome! My husband was so happy with this…”
