Gannet

GANNET – The lightship in Basel.

An event venue steeped in history and character, with unobstructed views of the Rhine. We are not a traditional function room, a hotel lobby or a city-centre conference room – we create unique memories.

The LV GANNET is a former lightship, built in 1954 – today a versatile event venue set against a backdrop of steel, water and sunsets. Three decks, different atmospheres, all in one place with a unique flair, right in the heart of one of Switzerland’s most exciting urban development areas.

Industry meets open spaces. The harbour meets the city. An outdoor deck meets a fully equipped event space.

From a pre-dinner drinks reception on the ship’s helicopter landing pad, through workshops and product presentations, to an exclusive corporate event or wedding for up to 300 guests – we offer space for sophisticated events. Professional sound and lighting technology, flexible room layouts and our own on-board restaurant and bar facilities lay the foundation for unique events. Cuisine, service and event organisation work in perfect harmony – delivered by a team with extensive experience in catering and event management.

Right on the waterfront. In the heart of Basel harbour.
A venue that leaves a lasting impression.
