Reserve Aperitivo in Advance
Book the onboard aperitivo at least 48 hours before departure to ensure provisioning; it’s paid on board (€45 pp).
Bring Windproof Layer
Lake winds can be cool even on sunny days—pack a light jacket to stay comfortable on the open deck.
Protect Your Camera
Use a wrist strap or dry bag for phones and cameras—spray and reflections are common near wakes and shorelines.
Consider Motion Sickness Prevention
If you’re sensitive to motion, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure; the boat’s low profile still experiences chop.
