Enjoy a Lake Garda crossing aboard a fully equipped sailing ship for a totally relaxing experience.

The scenic tour takes place in the early afternoon, in the 2 to 4 p.m. time slot, optimal for a sail on the lake, taking advantage of the "Ora" wind that blows from south to north in the early afternoon hours.

Alternatively, you can select the romantic tour, which runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., with passage through the most romantic spots around Malcesine: the Island of Love and the Bay of Val di Sogno, toast with appetizers in front of the village of Cassone and final passage under the Scaliger Castle of Malcesine.
