Private Guided Fishing Trip on Lake Constance (Untersee) — Half-Day Boat Charter
Spend a focused half-day fishing the Untersee arm of Lake Constance from a private three-person aluminum boat. The guide supplies tackle, fuel, and local knowledge to target whitefish, perch, and pike while you learn the lake’s seasonal rhythms.
The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm licensing for additional guests
The tour includes one fishing license—if you’re two anglers, verify whether the second guest needs a separate permit before departure.
Wear non-slip shoes
Aluminum decks can be slick when wet; closed-toe, rubber-soled footwear improves safety and stability while moving around the boat.
Protect against sun and spray
Bring polarized sunglasses and a brimmed hat to reduce glare and a light waterproof jacket for wind-driven spray.
Bring a small dry bag
Carry phones, keys, and medications in a compact dry bag—the guide provides fishing gear but not waterproof storage for personal items.
