The verdict in three sentences
In Fribourg, a private aviation and yacht charter concierge website built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 9 000 and 32 000 CHF, with German often included since the city is bilingual. Kolonell builds the service pages, the qualified flight or charter request and the partner operators page for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF, with German supplied by you or quoted separately. As a city with no coastline, Fribourg calls for a site that is honest about what you arrange elsewhere, and for a comparison based on the 3-year total cost, languages included.
This version is written for the English-speaking founders and partners of travel concierge firms in Fribourg, often serving international academics and executives working between Fribourg and Bern.
What do Fribourg agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are prudent ballparks. They rest on public rate cards of agencies in Fribourg and Bern, minimum project sizes visible on Clutch.co, hourly rates published by agencies in the region (often 100 to 160 CHF per hour) and rates shown on Malt or Upwork. Fribourg is one of the least expensive markets in French-speaking Switzerland, which narrows the gap with Kolonell.

What does an aviation and yachting concierge site need in Fribourg?
Fribourg has neither a seaport nor a large airport. A Fribourg concierge therefore arranges flights from Bern, Geneva or Zurich, short flights from the Écuvillens airfield, and yacht charters in Croatia, Greece or on the Côte d'Azur for a local clientele. That clientele brings together business leaders from the Gruyère region's industries, senior staff close to the federal administration in Bern, professors and researchers at the bilingual university, and well-off families from the canton. The site therefore has to:
- work in French and German, with English as a complement for international clients;
- say where services take place: real departure airports, real cruising areas;
- qualify the request: dates, passengers, departure airport or port, indicative budget, flexibility;
- preserve discretion: no client names, no passenger photos.
The rules, stated factually. The flight is performed by an operator holding an Air Operator Certificate (AOC); in Switzerland the authority is the FOCA, and in the European Union EASA and national authorities. A concierge or broker must not present itself as the operator and must state who operates the flight. For yachts, commercial charter depends on flag and local rules; the MYBA standard contract is widely used in the Mediterranean and VAT on charters varies by location. On data, the revFADP has applied since 1 September 2023, and the GDPR if you target clients in the European Union. Aim for WCAG 2.1 AA. This is not legal advice.
What does each tier include for an aviation and yachting concierge?
| Item | Starter 2 700 CHF | Growth 4 500 CHF | Premium 8 200 CHF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Services | Private flights and yachts on two pages | One page per service: business flights, helicopter to the resorts, Mediterranean yachts, trip planning | Full structure with destination pages (Croatia, Cyclades, Côte d'Azur, Alps) |
| Partners | Mention of operators | Partner operators page with their consent | Partners page and selection criteria |
| Request | Short form | Qualified flight and yacht form | Separate journeys, discreet call-back |
| Languages | One language | One language | Bilingual FR/EN included |
| German | Supplied or quoted separately | Supplied or quoted separately | Supplied or quoted separately |
| Timeline | 3 to 4 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks | Written schedule, usually 4 to 6 weeks |
| Support after launch | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
Online booking, instant quoting, an empty-leg feed or a client area are custom applications, quoted on request. Ongoing search work as well.
Which 3-year total cost should you compare?
Kolonell maintenance after the included support is quoted on request, so the table uses the same assumption on both sides, over 33 months since Growth includes 3 months of support.
| Item over 36 months | Fribourg agency (mid range) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| French site with German | 20 000 CHF, German included | 4 500 CHF (French) |
| Full German translation | Included | Supplied or quoted separately, assumption 2 000 CHF |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 120 CHF per month over 33 months, 3 960 CHF | 3 960 CHF, quoted on request |
| Partner page updates | 8 hours at 130 CHF, 1 040 CHF | Quoted beforehand, assumption 700 CHF |
| Support included after launch | Depends on contract | 3 months included |
| Indicative total | 25 000 CHF | 11 160 CHF |

- Machine-translated German, unacceptable for a demanding German-speaking clientele.
- Operator logos displayed without their written consent.
- A site implying a harbour or a fleet in Fribourg.

- A domain in the agency's name.
Ask about: who writes, how many revision rounds, what an extra destination page costs, and how quickly access is handed over.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Sophie M. runs a two-person concierge firm in Fribourg. She has just signed a partnership with a light jet operator based in Bern and wants a French and German site before winter. Two quotes:
- Fribourg agency: 18 500 CHF, French and German, 9 weeks.
- Kolonell Growth: 4 500 CHF in French, 3 to 4 weeks, plus a German translation by a Fribourg translator at 1 800 CHF.
Kolonell route: 4 500 + 1 800 = 6 300 CHF, against 18 500 CHF, a gap of 12 200 CHF. In return, Sophie coordinates the translation and obtains the operator's consent for the visuals herself.
