What we will do

Please arrive 10 minutes before the agreed time at the meeting point in Iseo (BS) . Here you will meet the skipper, who will be entirely at the disposal of your group of up to 8 people for this exclusive tour. You’ll sail aboard Nessa, an elegant historic two-masted sailing boat.

If you’re setting off from Iseo, you’ll head towards the heart of the lake, admiring the majesty of Monte Isola, Europe’s largest lake island, and the enchanting, privately-owned island of San Paolo. You’ll have the opportunity to sail around both islands, before continuing towards the Bergamo shore or the Torbiere Nature Reserve, situated in the southern part of the lake.

If, on the other hand, you set off from Lovere, the route will take you to explore the islands of Loreto and Monte Isola, before continuing towards the spectacular Baia del Bogn, characterised by imposing rock faces plunging sheer into the water. You’ll also be able to admire the picturesque little waterfall at Riva di Solto and the mouth of the River Oglio, whilst the skipper tells you stories and interesting facts about these places.

During the trip, you’ll have the chance to relax and enjoy the view of the lake or, if you prefer, try your hand at steering the boat. The skipper will be happy to involve you in the manoeuvres and share the secrets of sailing with you. In the warmer months, you can also treat yourself to a refreshing dip straight from the boat.

To make the experience even more enjoyable, a delicious aperitif will be served on board, featuring treats such as mini pizzas, local cold cuts and cheeses, fresh fruit and, to raise a glass together, a bottle of excellent wine for every four people.

At the end of the trip, you’ll return to the starting point. The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
