At the beginning of his professional and entrepreneurial career, Herbert Bossler and his cousin Karl Boßler (* 1912, † 1964) were responsible for managing the bar on the Von Hindenburg and Alt-Heidelberg I passenger ships . At the Von Hindenburg , he was in 1938 together with his cousin Karl ship partner . The ships sailed under the flag of the Bossler brothers' passenger shipping company founded by his two uncles Georg and Andreas Boßler in 1926 .

The entrepreneurial expansion of the younger line of the family followed in 1948 when Herbert Bossler founded the Herbert Bossler passenger shipping company in Bad Friedrichshall. His first motor ship was the MS Helene . A small ship designed for 50 people with a propulsion power of 75 hp. The second passenger ship of this size was named Ludwig and was dedicated to his eldest son Ludwig Friedrich called "Louis" Bossler.

The Glück Auf passenger ship followed in the same year . That one was initially designed for 250 people and had a drive line of 116 hp, it was also rebuilt in 1948. In 1954 Herbert Bossler acquired the motor ship MS Seeadler and then sold the MS Helene . The passenger ship Glück Auf was rebuilt again in 1960 in Neckarsteinach. The passenger ship Seeadler was rebuilt in 1965 at the Ebert and Sons shipyard and its capacity increased. From 1948 to 1975 Herbert Bossler was unrivaled with his shipping company in the Heilbronn traffic area.

The two passenger ships Glück Auf and Regia Wimpina , owned by Herbert Bossler, had a combined transport capacity of 665 people. In 1989 the company Personenschiffahrt Herbert Bossler was sold to his relatives, the owners of the Personenschifffahrt Stumpf, founded in 1975, in Heilbronn .
