Torture Ship: Fetish spectacle on Lake Constance attracts thousands!

Things are getting hot again this summer at Lake Constance! On June 22, 2023, the “Torture Ship”, one of the most famous fetish parties in the region, will depart. Since 1997, this special event has thrilled those interested in fetishes and attracts large crowds to the waterfront in Friedrichshafen and Konstanz. A unique night full of surprises and entertaining encounters is offered on the MS Baden, the Bodensee-Schiffsbetriebe (BSB) passenger ship.

Boarding begins at 6 p.m., this year an hour earlier than in previous years. Organizer Thomas Siegmund from the Augsburg agency Zip Zone has also put a lot of thought into the 28th edition. Tickets cost 75 euros, and for those traveling from further afield there is a shuttle bus service from Munich and Augsburg for an additional charge of 50 euros. Anyone who is interested in the event and is of legal age should secure their invitation quickly - demand is high!

A spectacle of lacquer and leather

The “Torture Ship” is more than just a party – there are numerous passengers dressed in outfits made of latex, leather and even animal masks. It is a showcase of creative and daring fashion that often attracts thousands of onlookers. The question always comes up: How has this event held up over the years? Despite some controversies in the past, especially with regard to a swinger ship, the event was able to hold its own. Since 2014, dark rooms have no longer been allowed to be offered on board; the focus is now on the party itself, which has become very well established without them.

In recent years the “Torture Ship” has been able to expand its success figures. In 2024, over 400 fetishists celebrated on board last year and the tickets sold out quickly. The oldest guest was already 84 years old - another indication that this event has become an integral part of life for many.

An evening full of sounds and exhibitions

The party extends over two floors where different types of music are played. There are also numerous bars that offer guests a wide selection of drinks. There are also exhibitors on site who specialize specifically in fetish clothing - here you can find everything that makes a fetish fan's heart beat faster. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, like last year, it hardly affects the mood of the participants.

For many fetishists, taking part in the “Torture Ship” is an absolute must, and the hype surrounding this event will certainly be evident again this year when guests party on Lake Constance until late into the night. The event has a special appeal not only for the participants, but also for the onlookers who take a look at the hustle and bustle from the harbor.

If you feel comfortable in this world and want to be there first-hand, you should hurry up to get one of the coveted tickets. The “Torture Ship” promises to be an unforgettable experience in 2023 too. Visit the website of Thurgauer newspaper for more information! Also take a look Swabian and n-tv Stop by to find out more!
