Why an electric boat club?
A club built for people who sail often, without the burden of ownership. Silently, fuel-free, hassle-free.
Absolute silence
An electric engine powered by the boat's own solar panels. You hear the water, the wind, the birds — never the engine again.
Zero hassle
No maintenance, no insurance, no winter storage, no berth to find. The boat is ready, you step on.
Two-click booking
A shared calendar across a deliberately limited number of members. Real availability, never overbooked, always fair.
The boat: Lasai 22 GL
A next-generation solar-electric day cruiser, designed for slow contemplation as much as smooth performance. Open cabin, wide seating, swim platform.

Frequently asked
How do I reach the base from Geneva?+
Our base is at Yvoire harbour (Haute-Savoie), 30 minutes by car from Geneva downtown via A40 and D1005. CGN ferries also serve Yvoire from Geneva in 1h15.
Do I need a boating license?+
Yes, a boating license (French coastal/inland or Swiss equivalent) is strictly required to helm. A skipper can be arranged on request.
How does booking work?+
Each member accesses a shared calendar. Booking takes two clicks depending on the plan (6, 14 or unlimited trips). The club is capped with limited members for real availability.
What's included in the membership?+
Everything: boat, maintenance, comprehensive insurance, winter storage, berth, solar charging. No hidden fees.
Why cap the number of members?+
Classic boat clubs run 15–30 members per boat — availability suffers. With a limited number of members, everyone sails when they want.
What about bad weather?+
Trips can be freely rescheduled through the calendar. The boat doesn't sail in strong winds (safety first).
Can I try before committing?+
Yes. Book a day trip (Morning €400, Afternoon €450, Full day €600) to experience the boat before joining the club.
Does the boat really run a full day on solar?+
Yes, at cruising speed (6 knots). Solar panels recharge continuously; the battery covers a full day of sailing on Lake Geneva.
