Michele invites you to a shared sailing excursion on Lake Garda to visit the most iconic spots of Italy’s largest lake from a unique and privileged perspective. This experience is perfect if you’re looking for an alternative outing, a break from routine, or the chance to steer a sailboat with guidance from your instructor.

From Porto San Nicolò in Riva del Garda, you’ll sail southwest toward the Ponale Waterfall, one of the most picturesque spots in Garda-Trentino, accessible only by water. Here, you can take a dip near the waterfall if you wish.

The shared sailing trip continues to Limone, a small village named after its characteristic lemon groves. After a brief stop for a snack on board, you’ll cross the lake to admire Malcesine’s Scaligero Castle, which rises majestically on a rocky spur.

The return to Riva del Garda follows the eastern shores, passing the beaches of Navene and Torbole, famous for their winds and popular with windsurfers and kiteboarders.

During the trip, if you’d like, you’ll have the chance to learn the basics of sailing and take the helm yourself.

Who’s your guide

Hi, I’m Michele. For over 25 years, my team and I have been taking people sailing to experience the water and wind on one of the world’s most renowned lakes for sailing. We’ll guide you through a journey combining sport, culture, and fun.

We offer sailing courses, rentals, and charters, sharing maritime culture and the art of sailing with adults, teens, and kids. Starting in 2025, we also offer excursions aboard a historic sailing ship, providing an exclusive perspective of Lake Garda.
