Reviews from simone.schwieder@...Man overboard Lug uf die Blöterli! A phrase that I will always associate with my driving school days and Heinz. How many times have I heard it? Heinz accompanied me up and down the Rhine with unbelievable patience. We approached every box and every jetty. Sometimes several times, and even when I was swearing, he always had a light-hearted remark and a word of encouragement. At the end of every driving lesson, I could always go home with the feeling that I had come a step closer to my goal of getting my boating license. Thank you dear Heiz for everything! See you on the Rhine!

Reviews from marco.kaiser@...From the very first second, it was clear that in Heinz I had not only found a driving instructor, but also a real person with passion and heart. His expertise is second to none and his way of imparting knowledge is simply brilliant. Every driving lesson was a highlight, filled with professional depth, human warmth and lots of fun on the water. Heinz not only managed to prepare me perfectly for the exam, but also gave me a time that I will never forget. His calmness, his humor and his talent for explaining complex content in a simple and understandable way made every lesson an experience. Thank you, Heinz, for this unforgettable time!

Reviews from mlgs@...During my first driving lesson with Heinz, the sun was shining, the Rhine was flowing calmly and there was no wind. As a beginner without any previous knowledge, I wasn't even able to drive in a straight line back then. In the subsequent driving lessons with Heinz, I learned new things from time to time and was able to consolidate what I had learned. This made me feel more and more confident. Heinz also explained the aspects of safety on board, possible emergencies and how to deal with them in an understandable and practical way. I experienced sailing lessons in all weather conditions and Heinz showed me how to master maneuvers safely in changing currents and difficult wind conditions. That gives you great confidence. Yes, and then came the day of the test: it was high tide, strong currents, rain, changing winds and waves. If you want to pass the test in such conditions, you need a really good driving instructor. There was a "warm up" before the test. This allowed me to adjust to the overall situation and Heinz managed to keep me calm but focused during the test. I passed at the first attempt. Dear Heinz, I am very happy to recommend you, you are an excellent, calm, patient driving instructor and a great person. Your expertise is huge and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you very much!

Reviews from family1234@...It's 04:07. I wake up and practise virtual boxing, forwards and backwards. I fight against the constantly changing current of the High Rhine. Motor boating is basically easy, you can only go forwards, backwards, port or starboard, says Heinz. But how do you teach motor boating to a 71-year-old who is only moderately talented and has no previous nautical knowledge? The answer is simple: you go to Heinz Frigerio's driving school. His expertise is immense, his teaching method humane and empathetic, his patience and calmness admirable, his hidden humor lightening the mood and the images he conveys memorable. Learning success is guaranteed. I can highly recommend the Züri-Rhy family business with Heinz, Madeleine and Selina Frigerio to anyone who is interested. I will miss the weekly lessons on the beautiful Rhine.

Reviews from endrichnina@...The driving lessons with Heinz were always a highlight. He imparts the knowledge very competently and patiently, combines the theoretical with the practical and lets you apply it yourself straight away. His friendly and relaxed manner makes you feel very comfortable right from the start. He pays a lot of attention to the student, asks about their well-being and manages to keep you calm when things don't work out straight away. I felt very well prepared for the practical driving test and very supported. I would take driving lessons with Heinz again at any time and can highly recommend him.

Even the exam expert notices a difference to other driving schools and gives Heinz the top mark! Thank you Heinz, for your interesting lessons and the funny anecdotes in between! I had a lot of fun. Continue to have fun on the Rhine and all the best!

Reviews from marco.thomann@...The driving lessons with Heinz Frigerio were very, very good! He has an incredible experience and an insane know-how that he is very happy to pass on! He is not only a driving instructor, but also a captain on large Rhine ships and a mechanic. In other words, he understands shipping as a whole! Again and again, instructive areas of knowledge pop up that you can soak up like a ship's sponge. He is also highly flexible, very generous with the driving lesson minutes and e guete Cheib! I am sure he has Rhine water flowing in his veins. I can warmly recommend him to any prospective captain. Today at the exam, the expert reacted to an important hint from my side with: This is the Frigerio School, usually only his students know that - I was really proud!

Every maneuver was carefully explained, shown and carefully accompanied even at the umpteenth attempt. You have nerves of steel and take your students seriously. This makes learning fun.

Reviews from s.frighetto@...We can recommend Heinz Frigerio with the very best conscience! It goes without saying that Heinz is hard to beat professionally with his vast experience. During every boating lesson he included the necessary theory, which was also part of the exam. His calmness - as well as his humour - which he never lost even when we made the biggest mistakes, made the boating lessons during this Corona time to enjoyable highlights! My wife and I have now both successfully completed the boat exam. Many thanks Heinz!

Reviews from nadja.caloertscher@...In the Corona Frustration I decided to take the motorboat exam. In Heinz Frigerio I had found a very competent and experienced driving instructor. The lessons were well structured, so that the initial concerns about not mastering the challenge soon faded. I really appreciated his patience, his clear instructions and good tips as well as his sense of humour. I admired his enormous calmness. Even before the driving test I didn't manage to upset him with my nervousness. Gell Heinz:) I can recommend the motorboat school with Heinz Frigerio with a good heart. Dear Heinz I thank you for the wonderful time on the Rhine in a not so casual pandemic time. I enjoyed it very much and will definitely miss it. Kind regards Nadja

Reviews from zimmermann72@...Heinz = The calm himself. A very patient driving instructor with a high level of competence. Is practical, constantly gives constructive criticism. Recognises the situation very quickly [always one step ahead] while giving good advice / tips. Is responsive to individual wishes [not only regarding manoeuvres, but also regarding driving times]. Because of this, I can only warmly recommend Heinz. I enjoyed every lesson, even if I despaired of myself at times [the 3 elements] ?. Thanks again and I will miss the hours on the water with you. Stay healthy and see you soon, Jeroen

Reviews from Markus HürlimannTwo years ago, I passed the skipper's exam on Lake Zurich. In order to get to know how to handle a boat on a watercourse and to refresh my previous knowledge I decided to take a few driving lessons with Züri-Rhy. Heinz Frigerio is a professional captain and can competently teach you the peculiarities of driving on a river. You learn to pay attention to the influences on the boat such as current and wind. In all situations and manoeuvres Heinz attaches great importance to the fact that one understands the background, the interaction of the forces acting on the boat. Heinz imparts the knowledge in a pleasant, calm and humorous way. The driving lessons in the pleasant training boat are a lot of fun and you have the feeling that they are over in no time. I was able to profit a lot, feel much more confident and look forward to driving on the Rhine myself. Many thanks, Heinz, for the competent and pleasant training. Markus

Reviews from beat.aeschbacher69@...When I decided to buy a boat ticket, it soon became clear to me that the sailing and examination area in the Rhine near Eglisau was ideal for me, as it could be reached quickly from my home. My choice was also confirmed, as I believe it is more demanding to learn in a flowing water and therefore to be better trained for the pitfalls of boating at the end of the training. There are 2 boating schools in Eglisau. Since I didn't know either of them, it was probably more by chance that I ended up with Züri-Rhy and Heinz Frigerio. In retrospect I consider it a stroke of luck to have attended the driving lessons with Heinz Frigerio / Züri-Rhy. Heinz is an extremely experienced and competent boating instructor. He is always in a good mood, has easy words and knows how to motivate you, even if your arms slowly hurt from turning the steering wheel. He knows how to teach you the basics of manoeuvring, how to focus and understand the peculiarities of a boat that is not standing on the ground with 4 wheels without losing the fun of boating. He also teaches you how to read the water in which you are sailing (wind conditions; strong, slow or no current; eddies; eddies; etc) and what to pay attention to in different situations so that the boat does what you want it to do and not the other way around. How often I felt the boat was like a stubborn donkey, doing what he wants, but certainly not what you expect from him (the boat). Nevertheless, Heinz always knows what is necessary to become master of the boat and its movements. In the end I was perfectly prepared for the exam and passed it at the first go. Once again many thanks to Heinz for the time we spent together on the Rhine. Beat

Reviews from info@...When I was thinking about getting my boat driving licence, a friend of mine advised me to get it from Heinz Frigerio of Züri-Rhy AG, he said it was the best. After passing the exam I can only confirm this and recommend it to everyone. Heinz Frigerio with his great experience and his calm, relaxed and patient manner taught me all the manoeuvres of boating. He was also very important to him to explain the dangers in the boat and on the water in detail, and all fear and insecurity was blown away, so that I enjoyed every lesson. I miss the beautiful boat driving lessons in the early morning on the Rhy. I would love to start all over again! Many thanks Heinz!

Reviews from Heidi.keller@...Motorboat examination completed on 12.12.2019 in Eglisau Driving lessons with Heinz Frigerio / Züri Rhy boat trip, Tössegg I completed my driving lessons with Züri Rhy Schifffahrt "Heinz Frigerio". This driving instructor is absolutely recommendable. He has a lifelong experience on, in and on the water and therefore knows a lot of helpful tips, which everyone can use later when handling his own boat. The driving lessons were always very instructive and intensive; i.e. no "senseless" driving back and forth to fill hours, but rather the lessons were always used in a very focused way. At any time you could also bring in yourself and practice things that were not yet easy to do. I was with Heinz the very first time in a boat and had no experience at all about motorboats and their handling, as well as about water, wind and currents and lo and behold, after a little more than 20 hours of driving I passed the test for the very first time with flying colours and praise. Heinz has a calm and very pleasant way of communicating things to you, you never feel stressed or overstrained. He also accompanies you to the examination date and ensures with his calm manner that the examination nervousness decreases ! Thank you Heinz - I can recommend you to every friend and family with an absolutely clear conscience. Heidi Keller, Eglisau

Reviews from hans.suhner@...Hello everyone, good day Heinz, It has now been almost a month since the motorboat test. I wanted to thank you again and now I will do this in writing. The following text shows some snapshots I was allowed to experience with Heinz. The first time at the helm of a ship I was on Lake Zurich, where I learned many mistakes and acquired completely wrong, hectic sailing characteristics. After then the exam went in the pants I wanted to give up. Then in an advertisement I saw your advertisement and I took courage and telephoned with you. I was immediately offered a free lesson on the Rhine. That's when I met Heinz. He wanted to see what I learned and I think he was quite shocked and surprised about my driving. Which was perfectly understandable. But through his calm and thoughtful manner I learned step by step a safe manoeuvring and lost with each time more my nervousness. I really enjoyed riding on the water. Heinz also managed to take away my fear of another failure at the stage. On 04.09.2019 14.15 o'clock it was then so far. The examination was conducted by Mr. Tanner. I boarded the ship and did what Heinz taught me. I was very quiet by my standards. Even when not everything went according to my wishes I didn't get fidgety and didn't make any hectic steering movements. I don't millimeter that much either. Heinz knows what is meant. Smile. At the jetty and the ship fastened was then communicated to me that I would have existed the examination. Somehow I could hardly believe it and my joy was limited. After a few days I realized that I had really passed. For me it is quite clear that I can only recommend you. What you can gather with Heinz in experiences there is certainly only very rarely. And if you want to learn to read the water properly, you have to go to the driving school. And Heinz: if you ever need parts or anything else for your vehicle park then please let us know. Love greetings and hopefully see you soon Hans Suhner

They learn how to handle wind, water, weather and ship correctly so that as skippers they will not experience any surprises in the future. The experiences of the active professional captain are worth their weight in gold, as are his peace and serenity. The best address for prospective skippers.

I found his humorous and clear way of teaching very pleasant and purposeful. Thank you very much, Heinz!!!

Reviews from marabrennwald@...After I have successfully completed my boat exam, I can only warmly recommend Heinz Frigerio and his boat driving school. His calm, safe and extremely competent manner always gave me the necessary security when driving. Also he was always very patient if I made the same mistake over and over again and took this always with humor ;). I always enjoyed going to the driving lesson and was super prepared for the stage. Heinz Frigerio practiced and explained all manoeuvres and what else belongs to safe boating thoroughly and comprehensibly with me. Nevertheless I was of course very nervous on day X and Heinz Frigerio skillfully tried to take away my nervousness with his calm and patient way. I have also always found the office of the driving school to be extremely friendly, reliable and flexible. Therefore I can only recommend the boat driving school Züri-Rhy to everyone. I would like to thank you again, Heinz, and wish you all the best. I'm sure we'll meet again on the Rhine! :-) Many greetings, Mara

Reviews from muto56@...More difficult than you think, yet so simple. This sentence summarizes my experience from driving school in preparation for the exam. With the attitude, what others can also do, I started for the first driving lesson. But it got me on the wrong foot. Boating is not driving. Everything is different and every time it is different again. With his very calm, patient and competent nature, my driving instructor Heinz Frigerio managed to teach me how to boate. When things got hectic, uncontrolled and faulty in my case, he was able to show with calm, fine tax inputs how simple everything becomes when one acts just as patiently and deliberately. In a very supportive learning atmosphere, he succeeded in teaching me all the manoeuvres relevant to the examination in a short time and showing me the pitfalls, peculiarities and difficulties of the examination area. Thanks to his wealth of experience as a professional captain and driving instructor, he was able to prepare me specifically for the exam and show me countless stumbling blocks to avoid. Heinz Frigerio has the talent to explain even difficult things in such a simple and logical way and to show that learning is not work but fun.

After passing my exam yesterday on the Rhine in Eglisau, I can only confirm all the statements. I've always looked forward to the driving lessons. Heinz Frigerio is very likeable, competent, always stays calm (unlike me :D) and what was very important to me was that there was never a lack of fun and humour. I was very nervous at my stage, a real bundle of nerves can be said, but nevertheless, thanks to Heinz, I managed the stage for the first time. At this point once again a thank you to you Heinz, I will miss my driving lessons with you over lunch very much, they have sweetened my working day :) Maybe I'll actually come back to you to brush up on my skills. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon on the Rhine :) Best regards Caroline

His calm and proven competence are true guarantors for success. There are certainly many good motorboat driving instructors, I only know Heinz Frigerio but I can recommend him out of conviction. Dear Heinz, thank you very much for your patience, your humour and your ability to convey the knowledge. The driving lessons at and with you were for me the little highlights in the last weeks, far away from the business happenings - I will really miss them :-) I am absolutely certain that we will continue to meet from time to time in the future. Best regards Peter Reich

Reviews from haue@...Mr. Frigerio radiates a lot of security by his calm and competent nature, which I appreciated very much during the training hours on the Rhine. The driving lessons were always very interesting and were unfortunately mostly much too fast past. Mr. Frigerio has a lot of patience and you can see that he has often been able to pass on his great knowledge. I also learned to appreciate the small boat with its small turning circle and the cosy warm cabin (especially towards the end of the training...). Thanks to his training I have also passed the practical driving test in the 1st attempt. Thank you so much! Robert Hauenstein, Teufen

Reviews from mheinen@...This early summer I had the opportunity to be prepared by Mr Frigerio for my motorboat sailing test. Mr. Frigerio's aim is to prepare the learner for everyday life with a boat and he manages this in a very pleasant way thanks to his structured approach and his calm and patient manner. Apart from the pure knowledge of leading the boat in all situations, all examination manoeuvres were practiced again and again. Also the general knowledge about the river, the weather, the engine and the right reaction in possible dangerous situations was explained in an understandable and competent way. Therefore, I did not get the impression that only exam-relevant material was conveyed, but was professionally prepared for all important situations on the water. In the beautiful examination area of Eglisau every single driving hour was a real pleasure. I don't want to miss any of these driving lessons early in the morning in summer 2012. Thanks to this serious training I passed the exam despite a very critical examiner at strong high water and correspondingly strong current at the first attempt. I now feel well prepared to be able to practice this beautiful water sport on other boats in other waters as well. I will recommend the boat driving school Züri-Rhy without reservation.

Reviews from j.m.haller@...Dear Heinz, congratulations! You have managed to pass an Oldie (retired) at the first exam with success. Your teaching is characterized by your patience, confidence-building behavior and efficiency. You prepared me optimally for the driving exercises of the test drive and even the theoretical questions of the expert could not upset my balance. Today I particularly appreciate that you not only prepared for the exam, but also for riding on water in general. So now I am able to play with completely different, new conditions on Lake Zurich. But there's something I'm gonna miss. The driving lessons in winter in the morning. They were always a special nature experience! That was, despite "training character" stress reduction pure! A mirror-smooth Rhine, few water birds and and often a tender morning fog over the water. Wonderful

Reviews from Mike GrafThe driving lessons with Mr. Frigerio were very instructive and were adapted to the situation of the acquired skills. What I liked best was that you had to assess situations yourself, get to know them and find your way around the Rhine. In my opinion, the training goes beyond what one needs to know and so I had also effortlessly passed the exam. Many thanks again at this point for the safe, competent and efficient training.

Reviews from bedo2006@...Very competent and reliable driving instructor, who attaches importance to a serious training. I greatly appreciated his calm, patient nature. The boat used is ideal for training, so even driving lessons in winter are fun. Thanks to Mr. Frigerio the test passed the first time. Eglisau is also an ideal place for boating lessons.

Reviews from herbert.hoeck@...Heinz Frigerio teaches in an extremely professional way and conveys the subject matter very vividly. Great importance is attached to safe navigation. The ship examination was passed after this top training by me problem-free and with the first time. The motorboat school Züri-Rhy can also be described as absolutely serious - no hours are ripped off! Thank you so much for letting me be your boating student!

Reviews from werner.buergi@...My driving instructor, Mr. Friggerio, knew how to deal with me well. He gave the right support at the beginning and reduced the instructions the closer we got to the examination stage. He almost always set it up that I progressed very quickly with the training. I wish Him, His family and His co-workers all the best and God's blessing. Werner Bürgi Winterthur

Reviews from duenner.embrach@...My two sons and I did the boating school with Mr. Frigerio and we all passed the exam the first time. With Mr. Frigerio, you simply notice immediately that he is a professional on the water and has been involved in Rhine navigation since his youth. He knows what he's talking about, so you trust him from the first minute. And if things didn't go well in one driving hour, he could help us with his calm and his good nerves.

Reviews from b.kramer@...I can only warmly recommend Heinz Frigerio's boat driving school to everyone. His lessons are very instructive and competent. He has explained everything very well and has always remained calm, even though I have certainly tested him with my not always so brilliant manoeuvres hard (-): Thank you very much.
