Kitesurf Shuttle
Relaxed kiting with our kite shuttle at the windiest spot on northern Lake Garda
Would you like to go kitesurfing on Lake Garda?
Then our kite boat shuttle is just the thing for you. Due to the rocky and deep access to the lake, it is not possible to launch a kite from the beach. The kite boat shuttle service takes you and your appropriately prepared kite equipment onto the boat and drives you to the windiest part of the lake. There the kite will be launched from the boat and after an agreed pick-up time or communication signal, you will be picked up from the boat and taken back to our school. You can book a Kitesurf Standard Shuttle in subscriptions of 5 and 10 shuttles, with the option of hiring additional equipment or choosing the Premium package, which gives you additional launching assistance.
Process and information
Meeting point: 7:15 am or 12:45 pm, depending on the individually booked shuttle time (Vento or Ora), both sessions can also be booked.
Important: the shuttle leaves punctually at 7.30 a.m. and 1 p.m., please plan enough time for equipment advice and changing!
You will be equipped with a visible lycra from us so that our instructor and our Baywatch can easily recognize you when he picks you up again. There are 6 places on a kite shuttle boat. The price for each shuttle session is reduced depending on how many sessions you book. If you don’t have your own kite equipment, you can rent it, as well as accessories such as a helmet, wetsuit, shoes, and harness.
The shuttle unit is max. 3 hours, but you can also be picked up earlier by prior arrangement with a hand signal. If the wind starts later in the day, the shuttle departure will be postponed.
You will be taken by boat to the best spot on the lake, where your own kite or the kite you have hired from us will be launched and you will start your kite session, which can last up to 3 hours depending on your personal wishes. After your session, we will pick you up by boat and take you back to our center.
If you are not staying at the Hotel Capo Reamol, we offer to pick you up with our boat shortly before the shuttle session. We have 3 pick-up stations:

If you do not have this level, you must ensure that you can go upwind independently. If you are unsure, our instructors will be happy to teach you further skills in a refresher course.
We recommend that you book at least 5 shuttles, as this significantly reduces the price.
Further information and FAQ
We will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the shuttle.
- How long will I be on the water with the kite boat shuttle?
The maximum time you can be on the water with your or rented equipment is 3 hours. However, you can also choose an earlier time and report with the notification sign, in which case you will be picked up promptly.
- What do I do if I am ill?
If you are ill and cannot make the shuttle, we will try to postpone the shuttle or alternatively, as a gesture of goodwill, issue a partial voucher that is valid for all destinations.
- What do I do when there is no wind?
If there is no wind, we try to postpone the shuttle, so we recommend booking the first shuttle on the first day of your holiday to have the necessary buffer. If there is an unexpected lull, we will issue a voucher as a gesture of goodwill, depending on how many shuttle units have been canceled, which is valid for one year and can be redeemed at all destinations.
