Eine Yacht in Locarno

FAQ: Ports & petrol station

Please click on the question you want to ask:

Which ports can I sail into with the yacht without any problem?

On each yacht there is a port handbook. The ports can also be seen at
www.lago-maggiore.ch.

When calling at ports you must always pay attention to the water depths – the data about depths in the handbook and on all cards refers to the medium standard water level as 193 m above sea level. High or low water levels can mean that certain port installations cannot be sailed into.
