Aperitivo on a boat on Lake Como

An aperitivo on a private boat is the Italian way to end a day on Lake Como: 2 hours for €600 for the whole boat, with prosecco on board, in the hour before sunset when the villas turn golden.

01

Prosecco is on board

Prosecco is included on every tour. If you want local wines or snacks, write it in the notes and the captain will tell you what can be arranged.

Best time

Leave two hours before sunset: you see the villas in warm light and are back as the lights come on.

Good questions.

Can we bring our own food?

Simple snacks, yes. Ask in the notes for anything more.

Is there a wine tour by boat?

We do not run wine tastings, but the captain can drop you at a lakeside wine bar or restaurant within your hours.
