Sauna boats<\/h3>\n\n
\n
Starting point of the sauna boat booking<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The starting point for your sauna boat booking is at Mythenquai 25, 8002 Zurich. All three of our sauna boats HILDI, ALICE and SIGRID are located at the jetty of Bootsvermietung Enge, just below Hafen Beiz Enge.

Drinks and snacks on the sauna boat<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

On site you\u2019ll find a small selection of beer, water and soft drinks that you\u2019re welcome to buy from us and take on board. We don\u2019t offer food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019re welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. We just kindly ask you to leave the boat clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that there is a general ban on open flames on our sauna boats. Therefore, open flames and cooking methods that involve fire\u2014such as fondue<\/strong>\u2014are not permitted.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Just like driving a car, the permitted alcohol limit for boating is 0.5 per mille<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WC<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

There are no toilets on the sauna boat. You are welcome to use the public toilets just above our boat rental at the Hafen Beiz Enge before departure and after arrival. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shower<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Unfortunately, we have no showers on the sauna boat or on our boat rental platform. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rent bathrobes, towels and slippers<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

You can rent a bathrobe (CHF 12), towel set (CHF 8) and slippers (CHF 4) on site. You can either order the extras directly when booking or pick them up before departure. Payment is possible by card, TWINT or cash. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deposit<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

At check-in, you need to show a valid official ID (e.g. identity card or passport).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Will my sauna boat booking take place in any weather?<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Basically yes. However, if a storm warning is active we cannot launch our sauna boats for safety reasons. If this is the case, we offer you the following options: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Cancellation of a booking, whereby no cancellation fees will be charged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Sauna on the boat at our jetty (without exit) – reduction of 30% of the booking amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Postpone your booking to a new date free of charge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Can I store valuables such as my scooter or laptop?<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
    \n

    A grey storage box is available for additional luggage. Valuables should always be kept with you, as we accept no liability for unattended items. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Our sauna is a nude zone.<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
    \n

    For hygienic reasons, our sauna is a nude zone. Towels can be rented on site. You can also bring your own towels. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Travel distance<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
    \n

    As our sauna boats are not speedboats, we ask our customers not to travel further than Hafen Tiefenbrunnen\/Hafen Wollishofen. Distances are often underestimated, which leads to late returns. Additional fees apply in case of a late return. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Maximum number of people<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
    \n

    Just like with a car, the permitted number of people on boats is clearly regulated. We offer two sauna boat categories: for up to 6 or up to 8 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please note that for a booking of 6 people, we cannot allow an additional person on board, even if you arrive on site with 7 people. We can\u2019t make any exceptions here, as we have to comply with legal requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The maximum number of people is not only for the safety of all guests, but also relates to the permitted total load of the boat. We therefore ask you to strictly adhere to the booked capacity. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    I would like to book two sauna boats at the same time. What rules must be followed? <\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
