Bertoldi Boats
Lake Garda by Boat — Discover Sirmione Through Its Landscape.
Step aboard a private navigation experience where Lake Garda is not simply admired, but understood through movement, perspective, and direct immersion in place.
With Bertoldi Boats, water, territory, and cultural landscape come together to reveal Sirmione and its peninsula as part of a broader Italian identity — shaped by history, geography, and lived experience.
EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW
Inside the Landscape of Lake Garda
Bertoldi Boats is more than a boat service.
It is a way to access Lake Garda as a cultural and territorial system — not just a destination.
Based in Sirmione, Desenzano and San Felice, the experience reflects a philosophy shaped by discretion, quality, and a deep understanding of the lake’s identity.
Here, navigation is not simply movement, but a tool to read the landscape — its layers, its rhythms, and its relationship with Italian life.
This experience offers privileged access to Lake Garda through a private cruise or a scheduled departure tour. Guests are guided across the lake’s most iconic landmarks — including the Grotte di Catullo, Isola del Garda, Punta San Vigilio, and the natural contours of the shoreline — discovering how history, geography, and human presence have shaped this territory over time.
It is a place where the lake becomes a lens into Italian identity — not just a view

Landscape. Identity. Perspective.

Bertoldi Boats represents:
- A way to access Italian identity through landscape — where water becomes a key to reading the territory.
- A perspective on Italy beyond static tourism — moving through space to understand how places are shaped and experienced.
- A complementary dimension of the Made in Italy — where lifestyle, environment, and cultural continuity play as important a role as production itself.
