What you can expect

Explore Lake Como by private boat and choose how much time to spend on the experience, from 1 to 4 hours. During your cruise, you will discover one of Italy's most famous landscapes, with historic villas overlooking the water, timeless villages, and enchanting natural views. On board, you'll find a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, with prosecco, beer and soft drinks included, to experience the lake in an exclusive and personalised way.

What you can see based on the tour duration:

1-Hour Tour
Perfect for an introduction to Lake Como. You will sail along one of the most renowned stretches, admiring elegant historic residences such as Villa d'Este, Villa Fontanelle (Versace), and George Clooney's famous Villa Oleandra. The itinerary also includes the picturesque villages of Blevio and Torno, with their houses directly overlooking the water.

2-Hour Tour
With more time at your disposal, you can reach the Orrido di Nesso, a spectacular natural canyon where a waterfall descends into the lake next to a charming stone bridge, one of the most photographed locations in the area.

3-Hour Tour
This route will take you to Isola Comacina, the only island in Lake Como, rich in history, ancient ruins, and legendary tales. The boat trip then continues towards Villa del Balbianello, famous for its panoramic gardens and for being the location of famous international films such as Star Wars – Episode II and 007 – Casino Royale.

4-Hour Tour
With this time frame, you can reach the famous Villa del Balbianello, passing by other villas and wonderful villages. The advantage of this tour is the extra free time available to take a dip in the refreshing waters of the lake. Ask the captain for the best area and have fun in the water.

A flexible, customisable experience
On tours of at least 2 hours, if the schedule and time allow, it is possible to make short stops ashore in some of the villages along the lake. This will give you the opportunity to discover charming spots, stroll through small squares, or capture the most fascinating places on Lake Como.
If you like, you can ask the captain where you can swim in the lake.
