Everything about this rental was perfect. The boat was in excellent condition — it honestly felt brand new. Everything worked exactly as it should, and I have absolutely no complaints. The boat was fast and surprisingly fuel-efficient — noticeably lower consumption than I'm used to seeing on motorboats with a comparable engine. Special thanks to the owner, who gave me a thorough briefing and made both the check-in and check-out smooth and easy. Highly recommended!

My family and I had the best day on Damien’s boat on Lake Geneva. The communication before the rental was great. On the day of the rental we were met by Franck, who was really helpful. We enjoyed every minute of the boat trip. It is an amazing boat. Really easy to handle. And plenty of room for all seven of us and all our stuff. We also rented an inflatable tube and a wakeboard. This made the day even more fun. We thought that 8 hours would be too much, but it went by very fast, and we could easily have spent more time on the water. We would love to do it again.

The boat ride was definitely a highlight of our trip! Our captain, Paul, made the experience unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable about Lake Annecy. He took us to some wonderful swimming spots, and some excellent places for rock-jumping. Everyone in our group of 12 (aged three-and-a-half, 8, 17, 20 and up) had a wonderful day.

We had a great time with the boat Poseidon, which worked perfectly and was just as described. The boat was extremely clean and in great shape. Benjamin was very friendly, and clear with his instructions. We would definitely rent again from Benjamin!

Very calm lake from the morning, winds sometimes changeable, calm at the beginning then a little more sustained at the end of the afternoon
Lac très calme dès le matin, vents parfois changeants, calme au début puis un peu plus soutenu en fin d'après midi

Once at sea, we were amazed by the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. The lake, with its turquoise waters and green banks, offers a breathtaking panorama. We sailed peacefully, taking the time to admire the nature around us. Maxim had recommended several stops, and we decided to explore some isolated coves, perfect for a refreshing swim.
Une fois en mer, nous avons été émerveillés par la beauté des paysages environnants. Le lac, avec ses eaux turquoise et ses rives verdoyantes, offre un panorama à couper le souffle. Nous avons navigué paisiblement, prenant le temps d’admirer la nature qui nous entourait. Maxim nous avait recommandé plusieurs arrêts, et nous avons décidé d’explorer quelques criques isolées, parfaites pour une baignade rafraîchissante.
