Christmas Motorboats – “Islands of Light” 2025-2026

Once again this year, Lake Maggiore lights up with “Islands of Light 2025-2026”, a unique Christmas event that transforms the charming Fishermen’s Island into a fairy-tale village. From December 5th, 2025 to January 6th, 2026, the houses, arcades and alleys of the island shine thanks to the theme “Water Patterns”, a tribute to the fishing tradition and its nets.

The most fascinating experience is the evening cruise aboard the Christmas Motorboats: a short navigation allows visitors to admire the lights reflected on the water, with a panoramic stop perfect for unforgettable photos. Once landed, guests can walk through the decorated alleys and discover the handcrafted nativity scenes made by the island’s inhabitants.

The ticket includes navigation, snack or tasting and visit to the island, for an experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Seats are limited, so booking is recommended.

This event is much more than a tourist attraction: it is a sensory journey through nature, tradition and Christmas magic, perfect for families, couples and anyone looking to enjoy a special evening among water, lights and history.
