The Yacht

A Boesch 850,
the only one on Lake Geneva

Born on the shores of Lake Zurich and hand-crafted by the Boesch shipyard, our runabout is one of the largest ever built by the house. Eight guests and their skipper come aboard without ever feeling crowded.

An aft lounge with light-leather banquettes around the table, a generous sundeck, a spacious cabin beneath the foredeck for everyone's belongings — and champagne chilling in the onboard fridge.
