What to expect
You'll board a private vessel at an agreed dock and set out across the glassy water with your skipper at the helm. The boat cuts through calm bays and passes villas clinging to the shoreline; you'll stop where the view warrants it. Mid-cruise, a picnic spread appears—cured meats, a board of cheeses, fresh bread and breadsticks, plus chilled wine and water. Bring a book, a camera, or just sit quiet and watch the mountains rise. The skipper knows the lake's moods and hidden corners.
Good to know
Hotel pick-up is not included; arrange your own transport to the dock. Bring sunscreen and a light layer for wind on the water. The boat works for all ages and fitness levels. Book in calmer months for the smoothest experience.
