About the Villa TarantoIsola Bella crossing

Ten daily sailings link Villa Taranto with Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore. Navigazione Laghi provides this service every day, with crossings taking between 35 and 45 minutes. The first departure is at 09:40 and the final boat of the day leaves at 18:45.

Route Logistics

This is a domestic Italian route for foot passengers only. The vessels used are smaller passenger boats designed for lake transport, not vehicle ferries. The direct distance between the two ports is minimal, but the journey time reflects intermediate stops which are common on this part of the lake.

From Villa Taranto, Navigazione Laghi also runs services to Baveno, Carciano (Stresa), Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori, and Verbania-Pallanza. The same destinations are served from Isola Bella, allowing for multi-stop itineraries across the Borromean Islands and adjacent lakeside towns.
