Unfortunately, the taxi boat didn't operate, but Mr. Flückiger kept me very well informed and offered a shuttle boat ride back and forth as a single passenger. It’s a great option to get from Pfäffikon to Ufenau, with excellent parking facilities. Despite the bad weather, the service was pleasant.

A well-thought-out system with this shuttle. Regular trips between Pfäffikon and the island. Plus, a boat ride like this is always a special experience. We'll definitely do it again. Also, having a meal at the island restaurant is a MUST. A wonderful experience.
