What to expect
Board your wooden boat at one of four free pick-up spots (Argegno, Lenno, Laglio or Lezzeno) or arrange collection elsewhere for an extra fee. The skipper plots a course past celebrated lakeside mansions and reveals the area's history as you drift past steep mountainsides and shuttered villages clinging to the shore. Depending on your itinerary, you'll dock at a waterfront village to wander or dine, with restaurants offering tables overlooking the lake. The boat carries water, soft drinks and a bottle of prosecco to share.
