    Hello Jigar1075,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    That’s great you have the Swiss Travel Pass. Your Swiss Travel Pass, is ready to use as soon on your start date arrives and it covers all of Switzerland. You can read all about it in the below link: how to use, the coverage map

    For your boat trip in Zurich (which is covered by the Swiss Travel Pass), the main boat docks are Bürkliplatz for the lake cruises or the Landesmuseum for the Limmat river cruises. More information here:

    Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda

    If you’re taking a longer ride (the shortest “loop ride”— meaning you enter and exit at the Zurich dock—is about 1 hour) then I recommend buying picnic food and drinks before boarding the boat. They are pricy onboard and sipping a “glass” of wine and munching a snack while enjoying the beautiful lakeside scenery is very pleasant.

    (You’ll only have a small table, so don’t expect to fully “spread out” with your picnic, but it’s perfectly adequate. And to get a table it’s a good idea to get in line about 15 minutes before boarding time.)

    Enjoy!
