Boat-Evasion
Everything you need to know about peer-to-peer boat rental in Switzerland.
Boat-Evasion is a boatsharing platform connecting motorboat owners and renters in Switzerland. Choose a boat, select a date and time slot (morning, afternoon or evening), pay securely online by credit card and pick up the keys from a secure key box. Check-in and check-out are done directly on the website or mobile app.
In Switzerland, operating a motorboat with more than 6 kW (approx. 8 HP) on lakes requires a motorboat licence (category A). Some boats on Boat-Evasion do not require a licence (under 6 kW). The required licence is clearly indicated on each boat listing. If you do not hold the required licence, your booking will be cancelled.
Boat-Evasion offers boats on several lakes in French-speaking Switzerland, mainly Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Biel and Lake Murten. More lakes may be added as new owners join. Check the interactive map on the home page to see available boats and their exact locations.
Payment is made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) via Stripe, a secure payment platform. A deposit is pre-authorised on your card at the time of booking and automatically released within 72 hours after the boat is returned, provided no damage is found during check-out.
To list your boat, create an account and post a listing from your personal space. You set the available time slots, price and conditions yourself. Boat-Evasion handles the booking, payment and check-in / check-out process. You receive payment directly to your bank account.
All renters are liable for damage caused during the rental period. The pre-authorised deposit may be charged for damage identified during check-out. We recommend verifying that your personal insurance covers navigation on Swiss waters. In case of an issue, our team is available via the contact form.
