Porto Bruno Manfredi

The Bruno Manfredi Port is a facility located on the shores of Lake Garda, along its southern shore, in the area where the Mincio River becomes an emissary of the lake.

The port enjoys cooperation with the Pioppi Nautical Center complex and is named after its creator.
The port can accommodate up to 220 boats that have a length not exceeding 18 meters.

Boaters transiting here can take advantage of drinking water sources and electricity supply columns at the docks, according to a centralized and computerized system. The docks all enjoy lighting.

For launching and hauling operations, the port also has two cranes complete with masters that can lift vessels weighing up to 15 tons, and a travelift that can bear weights of up to 10 tons.

Nautica Pioppi’s partnership with the Bruno Manfredi ports enables it to offer customers a shipbuilding and boat storage area. The workshop allows for mechanical and electronic repairs and a shipyard that handles cleaning and maintenance work on hulls and various systems. Shipbuilding support in the summer months is provided continuously every day of the week.
Two different areas, one outdoor and one indoor, are reserved for storage, however.

Boaters who decide to leave their boat here are offered hull and propeller cleaning and maintenance services, de-hulling and re-hulling (for sailboats), winterization of batteries and motors, use of antifouling protection, and launching.
The boating center is also interested in second-hand boat sales.

The harbor area includes a restaurant (with outdoor space facing directly onto the dock), outdoor and underground parking, and a beach, made of gravel and grass and where beach equipment (umbrellas, sunbeds) and pedal boats can be rented.

The Bruno Manfredi Harbor is part of the territory of Peschiera del Garda, a municipality in the province of Verona. The port is just under two kilometers from the city center.
Peschiera’s position as a link between the Po Valley and the Alps has made it a strategic point since ancient times. In fact, the earliest traces of human settlement in the area date back to the Bronze Age: a number of pile-dwelling villages have been found from this era, with many pottery and metal artifacts. These villages were included in 2011 in UNESCO’s list of Protected Heritage Sites.

The town still hosts archaeological excavations from the Roman period, fortresses and fortifications dating back to the 16th century, and the 16th-century Shrine of Our Lady of the Ash Tree.

An important naturalistic attraction in the area is Lake Ash, a small lake of glacial origin that falls under a special protection zone, both for the richness of its flora and fauna and for the presence of prehistoric pile-dwelling settlements.

The Peschiera area is home to some beautiful, clear-water beaches that offer scenery on the surrounding hills.

One of the town’s beaches is Capuchin Beach, consisting of light-colored gravel with small grassy areas with free access. Here it is possible to rent pedal boats, bathing equipment (umbrellas, beach chairs) and take advantage of the presence of a children’s playground and a bar.

The Mazzini Lakeside beach, on the other hand, is a sandy beach mixed with pebbles, where you can take advantage of the wooden piers for lounging, or rent umbrellas and deck chairs. There is also the possibility of renting pedal boats.
The Mazzini lakefront is easily accessible from the city center and offers a number of small coves where you can take a swim or rest in the tranquility.

In 2011 (near the Bergamini Fornaci shoreline) Braccobaldo Bau Beach opened, a beach that freely accepts customers who wish to ports their dogs.
