Can I bring dogs aboard Lake Iseo Navigation boats? Everything you need to know before traveling

If you’re planning a day out on Lake Iseo with your four-legged friend, you’re probably wondering: can I bring my dog on the Navigazione Lago Iseo ferries?

The answer is yes — but there are a few important rules to follow before boarding.

Bringing your dog on board

Dogs are allowed on the ferries only if they:

• wear a muzzle and leash, or
• are transported inside a closed and suitable pet carrier

This applies to dogs of all sizes.

Is a muzzle mandatory for small dogs?

Yes. Even small dogs held in your arms must wear a muzzle. The rule applies to every dog, regardless of size.

If you forget your muzzle, you can purchase one at:

• the land ticket offices, or
• directly on board

The cost is €4.50.

How much does it cost to bring a dog?

The ticket for transporting a dog costs €1.30 per trip.

Transport is free, without limitations, for:

• guide dogs for visually impaired passengers
• service dogs belonging to law enforcement

What about pet carriers?

If you use a carrier, it must be:

• closed
• suitable
• rigid or soft-sided with mesh
• designed to prevent the dog from sticking its muzzle out

Backpacks, handbags, or improvised containers are not considered suitable.

There is no storage area on board for carriers, and no rental service is available. The carrier must remain with you throughout the journey.

Final answer

Yes, you can bring your dog on the Navigazione Lago Iseo ferries — just make sure you comply with the safety rules and purchase the €1.30 ticket if required. A little preparation is all it takes to enjoy the lake together.
