Frequently asked questions
The model
Is this boat rental?
No. It is a sharing club in Ouchy, not an agency.
You take a pack for the season, you book, the boat is yours for the day.
Why the club rather than renting or buying?
Hourly rental suits 1 to 4 trips a year. Buying is the boat plus the running costs. The club is a full day, with no maintenance.
Limited places, boats ready to go. The figures are on Prices.
Do I need a licence?
Yes. Swiss lake licence, category A.
Booking
How long is a trip?
Your day. From 9 am until sunset. Not by the hour.
Two hours or the whole day — you decide. If you will not stay long, book only what you need.
Are the boats always taken?
No. Four boats, and we limit the number of users.
It is rare for all four to be full on the same day. We do not sell more packs than the season can take.
How do I start?
A pack, a familiarisation session, then you book online.
Familiarisation is the boat handover and the app. Then you book 24/7.
Practical
What if there is an incident?
People first. If someone is hurt, you call for help. Then you tell the club.
- If anyone is hurt, call the emergency services on 117.
- You call Nauti-Club — it happens, we handle it.
- Comprehensive hull cover, CHF 500 excess.
Also tell us about the smallest issue on the boat.
How do I join?
Write to us. We show you the boats and the concept.
You become a user: boats, familiarisation, booking. No vote at the general meeting — your ideas are still welcome.
