Autumn Sailing, Aperitif

5.0 1 verified review

4 hours · Sail and aperitif, four unhurried hours · Annamarie lovelytravels

A four-hour autumn sail with an aperitif on board, run by Annamarie lovelytravels and priced from $90.66 per person. The lake stays warm well into the season, and this trip leans into that: slow sailing, a drink in hand, light fading over the water. It carries a 5.0 rating, though from a single review so far, and free cancellation applies.

When To Book Your Lake Garda Boat Trip

Malcesine sailboat cruises run from spring into the warm autumn, when the lake stays calm and the northern winds have not yet picked up.

These cruises board at Malcesine, on the lake's east shore, with the autumn aperitif sail departing from the same area.
