Lake Zug: which chart and rules do boaters need?
The official Zug lakes nautical chart is a useful starting point for a boat trip on Lake Zug. It shows harbours, restricted areas and nautical information missing from an ordinary road map.
Load the chart before departure
- The canton links to the digital chart and the “Zuger Seen” app. Check planned approaches and protected areas before departure, especially when visiting an unfamiliar shore.
- Keep scheduled vessels’ routes and landing manoeuvres clear. They have priority, a long stopping distance and need much more room to berth than a leisure boat.
Arriving with a trailer
- For a registered boat changing waters, complete the report and required cleaning first. Wait for launch clearance; washing the boat yourself does not replace certified cleaning.
