Boutique Boat Tours on Lake Lucerne

Welcome to The Swiss Lake Twins – where passion meets the waters of Lake Lucerne.

We are more than just a private boat experience – we are storytellers of the lake.
Born from a deep love for the Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne), our mission is to share its timeless beauty, crystal-clear waters, and majestic mountain views with those seeking a moment of peace, adventure, or celebration.

Every journey with us is a tribute to this legendary lake, whose shores have inspired poets, musicians, and explorers for centuries. From the calm mornings when the mountains are mirrored perfectly on the surface, to the golden sunsets that turn the sky into a painting — Lake Lucerne is pure magic.

Our commitment to sustainability ensures that every cruise respects the natural balance of this unique alpine environment. We believe that true luxury is harmony — with nature, with people, and with time itself.

Meet the Captain Alfonso Ochoa

“Sailing in Switzerland never depends on the weather — beauty lives in every single day of the year. And as many say… imagine being in Switzerland and not sailing on Lake Lucerne.”

Born in 1977 and based in Central Switzerland, Captain Alfonso Ochoa has spent more than 15 years navigating both saltwater and freshwater, logging over 4,000 nautical hours across a wide range of vessels — from agile sport boats to modern cabin cruisers.

A passionate and certified skipper, Alfonso combines technical expertise, calm leadership, and genuine hospitality. His experience at sea — from the open ocean to the tranquil beauty of Lake Lucerne — ensures every guest feels safe, relaxed, and inspired.

He speaks English, German, and Spanish fluently, as well as some French, and offers all experiences fully available in French and Italian. Communication, warmth, and connection are at the core of his philosophy.

“A true captain knows: there’s no bad weather, only the wrong mindset. Every condition brings its own kind of magic on the lake.”

Under his guidance, you are in trusted hands. Sit back, breathe in the Alpine air, and enjoy what promises to be one of the most memorable cruises of your life.

Join us and discover why Lake Lucerne is called “the heart of Switzerland.”
