Lake Garda - A family's catamaran hit rocks and capsized off Riva del Garda; all three were rescuedSailing catamaran/2026/—/Grounding & capsize

On a Saturday in late May 2026, a German family — father, mother and their seven-year-old child — were sailing a catamaran near Riva del Garda, on northern Lake Garda, when it ran onto rocks and capsized in the lake's strong winds. Another sailor alerted the coast guard, and a rescue boat from Torbole recovered all three unharmed. The damaged catamaran was salvaged later by a local sailing school.
