Cruise to Évian on Lake Geneva
Discover the Savoy shore of Lake Geneva and the bay of Évian-les-Bains aboard the Lasai 22 GL, Eleman's solar-electric boat. A private cruise for up to 6 people, from Yvoire.
Évian-les-Bains, an elegant spa town on the south shore, only fully reveals itself from the water. Its Belle Époque façade, the Palais Lumière, the Casino, heritage villas and terraced gardens compose a unique panorama. The Yvoire–Évian cruise hugs an unspoiled coast: Excenevex and its fine-sand beach, Sciez, Anthy-sur-Léman, Thonon-les-Bains and Port de Rives. To the north, the view reaches Lausanne and the Lavaux vineyards.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Yvoire–Évian crossing take?+
At cruise speed (8 knots, about 15 km/h), allow around 1h30 from Yvoire to Évian. That's the slow boating spirit: the crossing is part of the experience.
Can we stop at Évian harbour?+
Yes. We dock at Évian-les-Bains for lunch, to visit the spa town or simply for a break. Temporary mooring fees are included.
Does the boat have enough range for an Évian cruise?+
Yes. The Lasai 22 GL is built for full days of cruising: its lithium battery, continuously recharged by the solar panels, easily covers Yvoire-Évian round trips.
Do I need a license for this cruise?+
Yes, a boating license (French coastal or Swiss lake) is required to helm the Lasai 22 GL. The cruise crosses Franco-Swiss waters with no specific formalities once you have your license.
