Full description
Ready to set sail on the lake?
Set sail from Desenzano del Garda with a skipper and sailing instructor for an 8-hour cruise featuring manoeuvres at the helm, refreshing dips in the water and a stop ashore with free time for lunch.
A unique opportunity to discover Lake Garda from a different perspective!
What we will do
Please arrive 15 minutes before the time stated at the meeting point in Desenzano del Garda (BS) .
The skipper will be there to welcome us on board and introduce us to the wonders of sailing.
We’ll set sail for Lake Garda and, whilst underway, we’ll be able to play an active part in the main manoeuvres alongside the skipper, getting to grips with the helm and the wind.
During the morning, we’ll also make some refreshing stops to swim from the boat and cool off in complete tranquillity. On board, we’ll have water, fruit juices and tasty snacks to top up our energy levels.
At around 12: 00, we’ll moor in the harbour of a charming lakeside village, where we’ll have free time until 13: 45 to explore the historic centre and enjoy lunch ashore at restaurants recommended by the crew or have a packed lunch (not included) .
After our stop ashore, we’ll return on board to resume our journey, enjoying another swim offshore before heading back to the departure jetty.
The activity will last approximately 8 hours in total .
