That’s where our artists take their well-earned rest.

Is where our artists rest – right at the banks of the river.

This fine tavern is waterhole and galley for our artists and sponsors.

Top level sight and sound for our stage acts, true fire workers on the water.

When our crew of jolly jocks needs a road-trip they give us the ride.

They build our pier - stable for eternity.

Walo Bertschinger AG: a partner that FLOSS has been able to build on since its beginnings.

Our sea dogs and water nymphs will be well fed in their galley.

Thanks to the MCH Group, we are able to spread out on the mainland with our entire vehicles.

Life in the airwaves – ship’s radio.

Depeche distributors – maximum efficiency.
