Planning your charter

Choose the lake before the boat

Lake Zurich and Lake Biel/Bienne are separate lake destinations. Rapperswil-Jona belongs to the Lake Zurich choice; Le Landeron sits on Lake Biel/Bienne in the canton of Neuchatel. Use that distinction to decide where you want to spend the shore-based part of your holiday before comparing the boats and their joining details.

For broader holiday context, Switzerland Tourism places Lake Biel/Bienne along the southern edge of the Jura and the French/German language boundary. The two departure-area pages develop their own local setting and arrival questions, while the catalogue lets you check the boats associated with your chosen area.

Explore the departure areas

Rapperswil-Jona and Le Landeron give you two specific starting points for an offer enquiry. Open the relevant area, review the individual boat and ask the operator to confirm its departure and return arrangements for your dates.

An address or point on the map helps you orient your search. Obtain the exact meeting instructions for the boat you select before arranging the final part of your journey. Keep the lake, departure area and agreed meeting place together when comparing alternatives.

Compare the complete boat offer

Start with the recorded boat details: accommodation, dimensions and equipment, together with the proposed dates and hire period. Check that the information answers your group's needs, and request any missing specifications before making a choice.

Ask for a complete quote that identifies the hire price, known mandatory charges, payments at the marina and refundable deposit. Check when each payment is due and which conditions govern deposit return or deductions. An amount that still needs confirmation should remain an open question in the comparison.

Read the service description alongside the price. A skipper can be included, obligatory or optional, depending on the individual offer. Confirm the service and its cost, and have the operator check the documents required for the selected boat.

Add Swiss food to the shore-side plan

Switzerland Tourism describes Swiss cuisine through its regional variety and German, French and northern Italian influences. A wider lake holiday can include exploring that food culture alongside time on the boat.

Its national food guide introduces cheese fondue with bread, raclette with potatoes and accompaniments, and rosti made from grated potatoes. Treat those as ideas for your own shore-side plans; check the selected boat's offer separately for any catering or provisioning arrangements.

Turn a shortlist into a confirmed plan

Send Charter Easy your preferred lake or departure area, dates, group details and budget. We can help narrow the boat choices and coordinate questions about services, documents, payment, deposit and booking terms with the operator.

Before committing, bring the boat details, complete quote and departure instructions into one agreed plan. Confirm the hire period and the departure and return bases for the dated offer. You can contact Charter Easy before departure, during the hire and after returning for help coordinating questions with the operator.

Questions before you choose

  • Which lake should I choose for a Swiss boat holiday?

    Begin with the departure area: Rapperswil-Jona is on Lake Zurich, while Le Landeron is on Lake Biel/Bienne. Compare their local setting and the individual boat offers, then confirm the departure arrangements for your dates.
