What children like
Waterfalls (Nesso), villas from the films, Isola Comacina, and in summer a swim from the boat with the captain's go-ahead.
A boat tour on Lake Como with kids
With children, a private boat is easier than the ferry: no queues, a route as short or long as you want and stops when they need. A 1-hour tour costs €300 for the whole boat; life jackets for children are on board, tell us their ages when you book.
Always aboard.

Good questions.
Are there life jackets for children?
Yes. Write the children's ages in the notes so the captain brings the right sizes.
Can we bring a stroller?
Yes, folded. The captain helps you on board.
