A cold wind lifts off the Untersee as the aluminum hull cuts through glassy water. The guide thumbs the throttle and the small boat glides past reed beds where the lake breathes slow and wide; gulls wheel, and distant hills hold the light. For two guests, the rhythm is intimate: a short run, an anchor or a controlled drift, lines cast into water that has shaped lives on both Swiss and German shores.
