Embark on a captivating sailing journey on Lake Geneva, offering a unique perspective to discover Geneva from a different vantage point. This sailing excursion combines relaxation and pleasure, providing an exceptional introduction to the art of navigation.

For two delightful hours, surrender to the tranquility of sailing on the lake, allowing yourself to unwind and soak in the breathtaking landscape that unfolds between the shimmering waters and majestic mountains. Marvel at Geneva from an entirely different angle, catching glimpses of iconic landmarks such as the famous water jet and the natural beauty of the lake.

Lake Geneva is truly a water body of superlatives. Boasting the mildest climate, it is the largest lake and holds the most water in Central Europe. Known as "Lac Léman" in French, it derives its name from the Celts who referred to it as "Large Water" or "Lem an". With its expansive 582 km² surface area, the lake is traversed by scheduled boats, historic paddle steamers, and charming ferries, all of which contribute to its record-breaking allure.
