Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

How much does the ferry from Malcesine to Limone sul Garda cost?

Cheapest ferry ticket from Malcesine to Limone sul Garda: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Malcesine to Limone sul Garda is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:

  • Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
  • Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
  • Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
  • Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
  • Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
  • Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare

When you fill out the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Malcesine to Limone sul Garda ferry first, then the alternatives.

Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.

How often does the ferry from Malcesine to Limone sul Garda run?

Frequent in summer, reduced in winter; the timetable thickens in summer and thins in winter. We send the sailings for your travel date with the cost of each.

Is the crossing rough?

What if the weather cancels the sailing?

The company moves you to the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk sorts it out for you on the day. In poor forecasts we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails when the fast boats stay in port.
