    Our hearts beat for the two Bernese Oberland lakes, for navigation and for our guests. We have the privilege of working where others spend their holidays: in one of the most beautiful regions of Switzerland. As hosts, we get to share the beauty of the region with our guests every single day and spark their longing for new horizons – a mission that fills us with pride and joy.

  • What do we enjoy?
    Variety.

    With us, no two days are the same: our work is diverse and truly unique. If you’re looking for a blend of craftsmanship and navigation, this is the right place for you. With our on‑the‑job training, you can develop your nautical skills and take on a role that is anything but ordinary in Switzerland – while still pursuing your passion for hands‑on work. Encounters with guests from all over the world and unforgettable moments in nature further enrich our everyday life. And for those seeking even more variety: we support both professional and personal development, inside and outside the company.

  • What do we value?
    Movement.

We always keep our eyes on the future, seek innovative solutions and implement them with confidence. We place importance on entrepreneurial and holistic thinking, and on using our resources responsibly. Short decision-making paths and our manageable company size make it easy to contribute new ideas and suggestions.

    Team spirit.

We treat each other fairly, kindly and helpfully, and we truly care about one another. In our daily work, we value togetherness and celebrate our successes as a team. During intense periods, especially in the busy summer season, we stand together and support each other.

    Stability.
