Ferries

Lake Garda’s fleet of ferries consists of 20 boats with bars, restaurants and sun decks. The car-ferry service consists of two vessels, which can transport up to 35 motor vehicles and 300 passengers, travelling from Maderno to Torri del Benaco and vice-versa, which runs most of the year and stops for a few months in winter. The journey takes about 20-30 minutes.

Between Desenzano and Peschiera there are swift catamarans which link up these two towns and many places in between. Afternoon and night-time summer cruises leave every day of the week on the following routes: Peschiera – Garda, Salò – Gargnano, Riva – Malcesine, Desenzano – Manerba. There are bars, restaurants and orchestras on board.
