Update 2025
Starting 01/06/2025 the Navigazione Laghi has changed the payment system. You can avoid the queues to the cashiers by paying during boarding by tapping the contactless credit car on the reader, located on the boat. You MUST tap the same card again when disembarking!!! The system will calculate the best fare, depending on the number of trips you have made during the day. The same card can be used to pay for multiple tickets on the same boat (upto 5). Be aware, that this system does not provide the discounts for children and charges the full fare. You can still get discounted tickets at the cashier desks at the pier.
