Lake Garda boat tours: the beauty of the lake from an alternative point of view

Among the many recreational and sporting offerings provided by outdoor centers around Lake Garda, we sometimes forget about one of the simplest but equally fascinating activities: boat tours. A boat ride allows you to reach the lake’s most beautiful destinations in a short time and take a true tour of wonders from one shore to the other.

You can choose whether to do the tour on a motorboat or a sailboat, also very popular. In fact, due to its location and conformation, Lake Garda presents special currents that favor sailing. So why not take advantage of this feature and enjoy a day of leisure lulled by the wind?

Lake Garda boat tours: the best trips

There are truly lots of possibilities for those who want to organize a boat tour on Lake Garda. Must-see highlights include the Catullus Caves and Sirmione Castle, the fortified walls of Peschiera del Garda, Punta San Vigilio, and Isola del Garda. The boats set sail from major Garda resorts such as Desenzano, Peschiera, Lazise, Malcesine, Riva del Garda, Limone sul Garda, or Gardone Riviera.

A full lake tour takes a whole day and usually includes stops to visit centers of interest on foot. But it is also possible to take shorter tours and visit a specific location. Those who prefer a customized tour, however, can opt for a boat rental or a private tour with a route of their choice.

How much does a boat tour on the Garda cost?

Prices for a boat tour on Lake Garda depend on the starting location, the duration of the outing, and the type of boat. To give you an idea: a full-day sailing tour departing from Lazise (VR) costs 90 euros per person. The same tour in private version is priced at 250 euros for the whole boat.

A weekend-long sailing tour on Lake Garda with an overnight stay and lunch on board costs 540 euros for two.

Celebrate a special event with a sailing or motorboat tour

Lake Garda is the perfect setting to celebrate a special event, especially if you decide to rent a boat just for you and the people you want to share the moment with. For example, a boat tour on Lake Garda can be a perfect idea for celebrating a bachelorette/bachelorette party in style. For these special occasions, customized tours can be arranged to satisfy even the most demanding. And those who want a less strenuous tour can book a sunset boat tour with aperitif and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of a sunset on the lake.

04 Apr 2026 | Sailing boat tour on Lake Garda with aperitif at sunset

If I could have...

If I could I would have put 6 stars. It was a fabulous experience helped though by the beautiful day. The skipper put us at ease straight away, took us on a sailing trip and left us at the helm (under his supervision), then before we came back he offered us a spritz (see photo), all with a wonderful view of the lake and mountains with snow in the background. A fabulous experience to be repeated. Thank you.

White party

I wanted to find a special present for my husband's birthday, and I'd say I succeeded! Spectacular sailing ship, renovated and very well maintained. Delightful and attentive staff on board! The outing was beautiful, relaxing, with great music and delicious snacks (also suitable for those with intolerances or allergies). Experience to be repeated for sure! Super recommended!!!
