Eleman · Solar Boat Club
Boat rental from Lausanne, Lake Geneva
Eleman offers exceptional solar-electric boat rentals accessible from Lausanne across the Petit Lac. Departing from Yvoire (south shore), explore Lavaux, the Vaud coast, Nyon, Rolle and Morges aboard the Lasai 22 GL.
Lausanne, Olympic capital perched on the north shore of Lake Geneva, gives access to one of the most stunning parts of the lake. To the east stretch the terraced Lavaux vineyards (UNESCO); to the west Morges, Rolle, Nyon, Coppet and Geneva. The Eleman boats, based across the lake at Yvoire, are reached via the CGN ferries (30 minutes). Lake Geneva seen from Lausanne offers a unique panorama: the Mont-Blanc range on the horizon, the Dents-du-Midi, the Savoy pre-Alps, and in the foreground the heritage vineyards dropping into the water. It's also where the lake winds (Vaudaire, Bornan) shape its character.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reach the boat from Lausanne?+
Fastest: CGN ferry Ouchy → Yvoire (about 30 minutes, several crossings per day in season). By car: 1h via Geneva (90 km). The CGN ferry remains the most pleasant option.
Can we sail from Yvoire all the way to Lavaux?+
Yes. Allow 2 to 2h30 of relaxed cruising. A full day allows the round trip with lunch stop and a swim in the Lavaux area.
Does the electric boat have enough range?+
Yes. The Lasai 22 GL combines a lithium battery with integrated solar panels. Range comfortably covers a full day on the lake, even on long Yvoire-Lavaux-Yvoire routes.
Swiss or French lake license?+
Both are accepted. The Swiss lake license (category A) or the French coastal boating license allow you to helm the Lasai 22 GL across the whole lake.
Is there a skipper option?+
Yes, a professional skipper can be arranged on request. Ideal for groups without a license or to fully enjoy the cruise without managing the boat.
