Lake Garda Boating Guide by Schiavo & Pellegrini Tops European Sales

For the growing number of boating enthusiasts, knowing where the docking sites are and how to reach them safely is essential. Visitors to Lake Garda can rely on the «Portolano» of that lake, written by two expert connoisseurs of Italy’s largest body of water.

They are journalists Elena Schiavo and Sandro «Pelle» Pellegrini. Their «cruise» departs from the port of Torbole and covers all the docks and bays where shelter can be found up to Peschiera. Each location is described in detail, including the placement of buoys, and all obstacles are signaled.
