Sailing on Lake Garda: historic clubs & schools for every age

Brenzone sul Garda has always been deeply connected to sailing, not only as a sport but as a culture that involves entire generations.

Here, on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, the wind meets history and gives life to a vibrant and dynamic community that finds its heart in the sailing clubs, where regattas, training, and passion come together.

With two active sailing clubs, certified schools, steady winds, and a welcoming atmosphere, Brenzone is one of the liveliest sailing hubs on Lake Garda. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert sailor, you’ll find a community ready to share its knowledge and passion - always sailing with the wind at its back.
