3-hour private boat tour on Lake Como

A 3-hour private boat tour on Lake Como costs €800 for the whole boat, with a local captain, fuel and prosecco included. It is the length that reaches the most famous villas from any pier: from the Como branch you get to Isola Comacina and Villa del Balbianello; from the centre of the lake you see Bellagio, Varenna and Villa Carlotta.

The villas, one after the other

A stop for a swim or a drink

Three hours leave time for a stop: a swim in summer, a toast in front of a villa, a walk on Isola Comacina.

Our most booked tour

Long enough to see the lake properly, short enough to keep the rest of the day free.
