THE ROUTE

The exact destination is decided before or during the outing based on conditions: guides select either Isola Borghese or the Baia del Vento to suit the weather, the group’s experience and lake traffic.

THE LANDSCAPE

THE EXPERIENCE

Short, guided, and site‑specific

The outing is designed as a compact coastal excursion that emphasizes close‑shore navigation and a guided pace appropriate to the group, delivering a distinct two‑hour on‑water experience.
