Private sailing day on Lake Iseo with aperitif

When relaxation calls, a day on a sailing boat is the perfect answer. Even more so if the setting is the enchanted Lake Iseo!

Set sail aboard the historic sailing boat Nessa, resembling a pirate vessel, and let it take you on a voyage of discovery to the most beautiful stops on the lake, such as MonteIsola, theisland of San Paolo, Baia del Bogn and Riva di Solto.

A friendly skipper and an aperitif with wine and local delicacies will be the crowning glory of a simply wonderful day!

What we will do

The rendezvous will be 10 minutes before the agreed time at Iseo (BS) or Lovere (BG), depending on the preference indicated at the time of booking.

Here you will meet the skipper, who will be at the complete disposal of your group of up to 8 people. On board Nessa, a historical sailing boat with two masts, you will have the opportunity to explore the lake in total freedom and to customise your itinerary, deciding the best route together with the skipper.

Some of the stops that will make your Lake Iseo sailing trip special are Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe, theisland of Loreto, and theisland of San Paolo, a small private jewel. If you wish, you will also have the opportunity to disembark on Monte Isola and stroll through its narrow streets.

You can also sail south to the Torbiere Nature Reserve, an area of great natural value, or north, where the unusual and almost exotic views of the Baia del Bogn, the waterfall of Riva di Solto and the mouth of the River Oglio await you.

During navigation you will have time to relax and enjoy the scenery together with your fellow adventurers, but if you like the idea of taking the helm, the skipper will be happy to teach you a few sailing tricks. In the warmer months you can also stop for a few dips directly from the boat.

Towards the middle of the day an aperitif will be served with tasty local products such as pizzas, cold meats, cheese, fresh fruit, and to toast, a bottle of wine for every four people.

At the end of the excursion you will return to your starting point. The activity will last a total of 7½ hours.
