Overview

Lake Como is the most beautiful lake in the world and, recently, it was included in the 55 most beautiful places in the world list by the famous travel network: travel + leisure. On a private boat tour on Como lake, you can discover the secret spots that you would not be able to see from the land; Chartering our boat you will be able to see historic villas, beautiful gardens, fishermen villages and beautiful landscapes. Other pick-up points, different from the pre-established one in Como, may be arranged, but only if compatible with the length of the selected tour. For instance, it is impossible to arrange a pick-up in Varenna or Bellagio if opting for a one-hour tour. Conversely, it is possible to arrange a pick-up in Cernobbio or Blevio even when choosing a one-hour tour, as these are villages very close to Como, which, as a reminder, serves as the base for our vessels.
