Simplest approach
Choose a shorter town outing when the shore window is limited. Make a guided lake or island-hopping trip the main alternative with access requirements, equipment and cruise return agreed in advance; avoid adding several unplanned boat stops.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Boat boarding, lake approaches and water entry can be demanding. Ask the operator about the actual sites and choose a town outing when the activity requirements are unsuitable.
Weather
Plan shade and indoor breaks in heat. Rain can make historic paving or archaeological paths slippery; shorten exposed outdoor stops around the forecast. Wind can also affect boat connections; use the ship instructions for the actual call.
