About us
Portrait
The Romans used Lake Walen as a passageway as long as 2000 years ago. Until the 19th century, shipping experienced many exciting stories: Wars, shipping disasters, but also successful milestones. In 1954, the company "Schiffsbetrieb Quinten" was founded, which was transformed into a family-owned public limited company in 1984. From then on, it was known as Schiffsbetrieb Walensee AG, based in Murg. In 2004, it was sold to Walensee Event AG, also based in Murg, but retained the name.
As a private company, we now operate six passenger ships and one cargo ship on Lake Walen. In addition to year-round scheduled services, we also offer individually bookable boat rentals, public event cruises and freight transportation. With around 30 motivated employees during the high season, we do our best every day to offer our guests an unforgettable experience on the turquoise-blue Swiss "fjord".
