Overview

Live Lake Como aboard a splendid vintage boat, between elegance, comfort, and authenticity.

Our captains, natives of the lake, will accompany you to discover villas, villages, and hidden corners, enriching the tour with stories, curiosities, and local anecdotes to make you experience the lake beyond the classic tourist routes.

The itineraries are customizable based on the starting point and your preferences. On every tour, it is possible to make a stop for the bathroom.
From the 2-hour tour you can visit Villa del Balbianello or Villa Carlotta, or go down to Lenno, Menaggio, Varenna or Bellagio.
With 3 or 4-hour tours you can add a lunch stop or combine two stops, like Villa + Bellagio.

Your Lake Como, experienced in an authentic, exclusive, and unforgettable way.
