Selection Criteria for Team Events on the Water
When choosing the right format, it is worth clarifying the objective of the event first: should the team be actively challenged, or is relaxation and exchange the priority? Boat trips and challenges appeal to different needs than tastings or seminars on the waterfront. The desired format – half-day, full-day, or multi-day – also influences the selection. The listings on EventButler are filtered by type, so you can search specifically for the most suitable format.
Offerings in the Region
Alongside the highlights in Basel and other Swiss locations, the platform also offers formats such as «Paddling Together in the Canadian Canoe» for up to 100 people, as well as «Connect at offlineCAMP», a relaxation format for up to 80 guests. Both offerings are suited to teams that are consciously seeking distance from everyday life and wish to experience collaboration in a different setting. Switzerland as a whole thus offers a rich selection of water events – from river cruises to tranquil retreats.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about By the water in Switzerland
In Switzerland, you will currently find 37 providers for team events on the water – from canoe and SUP tours on lakes such as Lake Zurich or Lake Lucerne to boat trips, rowing challenges, and water sports team-building activities. The offering ranges from half-hour activities to full-day programmes with catering options.
Outdoor activities on Swiss lakes such as Lake Constance or Lake Thun are weather-dependent – however, many providers have alternative programmes in boathouses, pavilions, or covered jetties. When booking, ask specifically about a Plan B for rain or thunderstorms, as storms can develop quickly on Swiss lakes and safety cancellations are not uncommon.
Simple activities such as guided kayak tours or SUP courses start from around CHF 60–90 per person. Premium offerings such as exclusive boat hire with catering and facilitation range between CHF 150 and CHF 350 per person. Equipment, instructors, and catering are usually charged separately, so you should always ask the provider for an all-inclusive package price.
For groups of 15 or more, a lead time of at least 6–8 weeks is recommended, as popular providers on lakes such as Lake Zurich or Lake Geneva book up quickly during the summer months. For dates between June and August, you should plan 3–4 months ahead to secure your date and programme on a binding basis.
