The 44-foot sloop EAGLE slips away from the quay and the lake opens like a cool, moving room—mirrored water under a low Lombardy sky, villas rising on terraces above cypress-lined roads. Onboard, the skipper trims the sails and shares local stories while an aperitif is passed around: spritzes clinking against the steady slap of water on hull.

Bring motion-sickness meds
Lake crossings can be smooth but choppy; take anti-nausea medication before you board if you’re sensitive.
Wear non-marking shoes
Soft-soled, slip-resistant shoes protect the boat’s deck and keep you steady while moving about.
Layer for wind
Even on warm days, a light windbreaker or fleece helps—wind off the water cools quickly.
Respect villa grounds
Most villas are private or have ticketed gardens—photograph from the boat and follow skipper guidance for landings.
