5.00Sailing in the lake by Jet d'Eau de Genève will forever be a favorite memory of visiting Switzerland. Nico was an incredible host and made our family feel so welcome and comfortable. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Genève. It was so much fun.
Great way to experience the lake

5.00We had the most beautiful time on the lake with Nico. His boat is a lovely 24 foot mono hull sailboat. You can just enjoy the ride, or if desired help sail. If the weather is nice a jump in the lake may be in order! We highly recommend!
We had an amazing time...

5.00This experience with Nico was the best experience that we've ever had on a boat. Nico is so experienced and so personal. He ensured that we was comfortable and enjoyed the entire experienced. He catered it to our interest and taught us so many valuable sailing lessons. He is passionate and skilled and developed our love for sailing and boating even more. We plan to continue learning to sail and next time we're in Geneva we will certainly book with him again. 10000% Recommend, worth every penny and more. This was the best part of our vacation in Geneva. Nico you was awesome! My husband was so happy with this experience and so was I. You are truly a rockstar and a genuine person. You left a great impression on us.

5.00Great day sailing on Lake Geneva with my family(two kids 12 and 15). The wind was a little light, but it was a beautiful ride, and we really enjoyed talking to our captain, Nico. I highly recommend sailing with him, as he is very experienced-he sailed to the Caribbean from Europe! He has some amazing stories.
