Overview

Discover the magic of lake Zurich!

We’ll tour the northern part of the lake close to Zurich: we’ll start off in Wollishofen and head towards Enge and the Old Town.

First, we’ll pass the Lion statue by Enge harbor, then we’ll stop by the famous and lit Aquaretum fountain to take some photos.

10 minutes later we’ll enter the Limmat river by going under the Quaibrücke before reaching the Grossmünster on the right and the Fraumünster on the left, our half-way mark. Here we’ll marvel at the spectacle of lights.
On the way back to Wollishofen we’ll enjoy the views of the Zurich Gold and Silver coasts on either side of us.

If you are interested, you will be able to experiment steering the boat and learn about navigation at night.

Please make your own arrangements to and from the base in Wollishofen or simply add a transfer.

The timing is an example. Please contact us for a different time.

Stop At: Lake Zurich, Zurich Switzerland

Lake Zurich. Formed by the river Linth and itself originating from meltwater of Glarus Alps glaciers in the South, the water exits through the river Limmat in Zurich. Fun fact: lake Zurich last froze up in 1963 and this happens only three times per century on average. Its water is so clean and potable that it is fed into the Zurich city water system after only minimal purification.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Wasserspiel Aquaretum, Mythenquai 25, Zurich 8002 Switzerland

Aquaretum. The fountain just outside Enge harbor was designed by artist Andres Bosshard and built by Fischer Architects in 2019 as an update to the previous fountain. It consists of 12 tilted nozzles arranged in a circle producing jets reaching up to 35 m. The jets are directly driven by the weather and by seismic activity worldwide as recorded by ETH Zurich. At dusk and on public holidays LED lights give the fountain a special accent.

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: Limmat, Zurich 8038 Switzerland

Limmat river. It starts in Zurich and flows in a northwesterly direction for 35 km where it joins the Aare. It is a popular bathing spot for locals. In history, travels from Zurich to Koblenz took place as far back as the 12th century.

Duration: 5 minutes

The evening boat tour was the highlight of a wonderful day in Zurich! Erik was a perfect host. He provided transportation to / from our hotel and his stories were informative and charming. Once we were in the water, the tour showcased the magic of Lake Zurich at sundown. We toasted the sunset with refreshments that Erik provided and asked Erik at least a hundred questions, which he patiently answered. Our 30-something daughter and son-in-law LOVED the opportunity to drive the boat under Erik's supervision. The videos of their driving will be precious family memories for years to come. Highly recommend the "My Swiss Lake Tour". It is terrific.

Diesmal wollte ich einer ganz besonderen Dame etwas anderes bieten: ohne zu viel Aufwand oder ohne es zu kitschig zu gestalten. Deswegen war eine Bootsfahrt auf dem Zürichsee an einem lauen Sommerabend genau das richtige. Wir trafen uns in der Nähe vom Hafen in einer Bar. Nach dem ersten Glas Champagner sagte ich Ihr, dass ich eine Überraschung für sie habe. An dem Leuchten in ihren Augen bemerkte ich, dass Ihr diese spontane Art gefällt. Ich war auf dem richtigen Weg: alles lief harmonisch. Als sie das Boot sah, und ich ihr sagte, dass wir eine kleine Bootsfahrt machen, war sie völlig hingerissen. Jetzt konnte nichts mehr schiefgehen. Die Abendlichter von Zürich spiegelten sich in dem ruhigen Wasser: es war eine traumhafte Stimmung. Während wir ein weiteres Glass Champagner tranken, kamen wir uns auch schon näher. Ich berührte sanft Ihre Hand und unsere Lippen küsste sich. An diesen Abend werde ich lange zurückdenken.
