Garda Lake Italy - Page 3

As I heared the southeast side is more fun, in terms of possibilities to go out in the night.
My idea for next years summer is to go to a campside near Bardolino or Peshiera.
But I'm afraid that in that area there are not much places to launch my rib from the trailer, and also a affortable marina insteat of a bouy.
I just don't like the idea of leaving my rib at a bouy for two weeks....

Marksails, do you have any suggestions in that area of Bardolino / Peshiera?

Or can you point out that the southwest side of the lake, also is a lot of fun to be for about two weeks. In terms of nice places to visit by boat or going out at night?

There are no slides for the trailer To Bardolino and Peschiera

look at th photo

This slide is a free access and it's near Desenzano (between Desenzano and Sirmione)
The name is ZATTERA and the place is Rivoltella.

if you love the nightlife desenzano is the ideal place. 15 km from Peschiera
25 km from BRescia
You have all that you want..

From what I gather you cannot take powered craft north of a line across the lake at Limone
I would love to be proved wrong about this

Exactly! In the north is only for sailing boats.

This is true.
At the north there are many wind surfer and sailing boats.
This area is only for that boats.

This is the line:

Very interesting thread, finally some information regarding boating on Lake Garda, I do not have a RIB, sorry :-(, just little Larson 226 5.7 V8 bowrider.

Anyway I've been many a time to Lake Garda, mainly stayed in either Moniga or Simioni (when we don't have the children with us) and rented boats from Rappi or some German chap on the beach in Manerba...

It definitely is the best way to go around the lake in my opinion...It just takes too long to get to the other side by car...

Opposed to the last times I now have training, full inland/coastal ICC....I was wondering is CEVNI required as well for the Italian lakes?

We will be staying for three weeks in Moniga and have booked a bouy in front of the campground. I'm a little worried now with all these stories regarding theft. Is that true? Should I put some more security on my boat? I'm surprised as many of the boats are there for many months a year....

Also last time (about 4 years ago now..) it seems that there was free mooring at places like Salo and Lasize so one can have a little spot of lunch and go back....Is that still the case or was that just because I rented a boat from Rappi?

I would love to learn about other good places too moor so me and family can go for some lunch....I love Sirmioni for example....

Hope you don't mind a non rib owner on here :-)

If you ladies/gents are interested I can upload some more lake Garda pictures :-)

J think that you have no problem but if you want to be sure about the right and safe place to put your boat , on my opinion you should find a place ( My suggestion should be "Rappy Drive" , the one you've mentioned

Thanks I will do, it would be good to meet someone experienced....I'm just waiting for my Larson to be prepared....But going out to Poole Harbour on a few Ribs this weekend!

PS Is that a pontoon I see at Isola dei Conigli?? Last time I was there you had to beach the boats...

Yes, infact there is a pontoon at "rabbits island".... :-)
the difference is caused by the water : now , at the moment, there's a lot of water into the lake, one meter and half more.
Perhaps when you come last time, the level was not that high

I am very pleased to hear that as last time I was there, there was a lot of talk on how the lake water level was going down...

I've just extended my holiday this year by a couple of day, can't wait to go...

Just a little Larson 226 bowrider with the Volvo 5.7V8 and SX leg...It is the one with the U-Shape seating at the back and a lunch (read drinks for everybody except me) table...Complete rig is about 2.2Tonne so I'll have fun getting it over the Alps :-)

Since one year ago, the level of water at the Garda lake got higher because of abundance of rain. Moreover, local administrations for water regulations of Mincio River, decided to use in a clever way the water, saving a bigger quantity of it in winter, in order to irrigate the ground on summer, without any damage for the ecosystem .

Feck me, you're putting the truck in too, you've got a binliner not a submarine

Nah the Moniga slipway is fairly shallow and not enough space to use lines as an extension as they don't corner that well :-)

Does anyone know a place for trailer storage at lake Garda? Ideally to the west or south of the lake, but beggers can't be choosers so I be happy with anywhere!

I got myself in a pickle. I have guaranteed a buoy and trailer storage bar two days of my holiday. I could book a marina berth for the whole holiday but they can't store the trailer and my campground doesn't have the storage either.

Please help with ideas.

ZAR64Suite · 23 June 2009, 21:24

Hi,
Want to spend holiday in Lake Garda with my new ZAR Formenti 65 Suite with Honda225 on trailer. Look for advice from local Rib guy.
Specific questions:
- what is best place to go with boat? not too bussy, good place with enough bouys
- is there a hotel/camping with marina on site?
Look forward to your reaction!
Regards, Roeland

dejongj · 23 June 2009, 21:59

It all depends when you want to go. If you are looking for this highseason forget it. It is so full. Nearly all lakeside campings have buoys that they can officially rent out and most have their own slipway as well.
I prefer the west as my base, but again that is personal.

Check with selectcamp.nl which is with who we booked this year. Another good source is as you are from holland is gardameerforum.nl

hope that helps.
