Many crossings are 52 minutes in duration, offering fast and scenic transit across the lake.
Vessels used on these routes are described as spacious modern catamarans with accessible facilities and on-board bistro or bar services on select departures. Several ticket types are offered, including single journeys, return tickets (Hin- und Rückfahrt), Early Bird and seasonal (Herbst) tickets. Group options cover small to large parties with defined brackets (for example, 10–15, 16–25, 26–32, 33–50 persons) and multiple school-class options that guarantee booked departures for different class sizes.
Special services include a Kuriergut option that allows parcels up to 20 kg to travel between Konstanz and Friedrichshafen, and event sailings such as the Rundfahrt zum Feuerwerk des Konstanzer Seenachtfest departing from Meersburg aboard the Katamaran Ferdinand.
