Your guide

Michele Casali di Rivavela SRL al Lago di Garda

Nice to meet you, I'm Michele. For over 25 years, my team and I have been helping people discover the wind and water of Lake Garda, one of the most renowned sailing destinations. We offer courses, rentals, and charters, sharing our passion for sailing with adults, teenagers, and children. Starting in 2025, you can also enjoy an exclusive experience aboard a historic sailing ship.

Description

Discover the emotion of sailing and experience an unparalleled journey on North Garda Lake, aboard our graceful Perla. The Irwin 54 is more than just a sailboat; it is a true masterpiece, with elegant lines and welcoming spaces. With its 16 meters in length, this boat offers comfortable cabins, a refined lounge, and a spacious deck, creating the perfect atmosphere for a sail in total relaxation and tranquility.

As the aperitif hour begins, board ‘La Perla’ and let the experience unfold across the calm waters of Lake Garda, in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. With no fixed route, the journey flows with the rhythm of the wind and the joy of good company, allowing us to explore the lake freely and at our own pace. On board, you’ll find a selection of local snacks made with typical products: Trentino cheeses, handmade cured meats, bruschettas with extra virgin olive oil and fresh tomatoes, as well as seasonal fruits and other lakeside treats. To complement your experience, choose from a glass of prosecco, a refreshing cocktail, or a craft beer, with non-alcoholic options for those seeking something lighter.

As the sun sets behind the mountains and the lake takes on golden and pink hues, we relax and enjoy the gentle breeze and good conversation. The comfortable spaces and timeless elegance of the Perla make every moment of the experience even more enjoyable, offering the perfect balance of well-being and style. Finally, we slowly make our way back to the Rocca di Riva del Garda, where the evening ends, leaving us with the feeling of having offered the perfect combination of relaxation, fun, and natural beauty.
