Lake Zurich Private Boat & Watersports: Wakeboarding & Swimming

A skipper adjusts the route and activities to what your group wants to do that day.

A private motorboat experience on Lake Zurich where you choose the pace, the stops and which watersports to try (wakeboarding, towable tube rides or swimming) with a local skipper, all equipment and beginner coaching included. The 3.5-hour and full-day options let you pick the length that fits your schedule. Food and drinks beyond the provided water are your choice.

The experience

You meet the skipper at the agreed landing stage for a safety briefing, then head out onto the lake with the boat and its equipment entirely at your group's disposal. Unlike a standard cruise, the route and activities shift based on what you want to do, the weather and lake conditions. Wakeboarding comes with beginner-friendly coaching so first-timers can get up and try it. The towable tube is another option if you prefer something less technical. Swimming stops happen whenever the group wants them. Life jackets, all watersports gear and bottled water are provided.

The skipper speaks English, French or German and stays with the boat the whole time. On longer trips, you can stop at a lakeside restaurant if you want a meal. On shorter outings, you might spend the time moving between swimming spots and trying different activities. The experience works for couples, families and friend groups: anyone looking for a private way to use the lake rather than joining a scheduled tour with other passengers.
