Fairs and congresses at Villa Erba
Villa Erba in Cernobbio hosts fairs, congresses and gala dinners. Boats can bring guests from Como, from the hotels on the lake or from Bellagio, and take them on a tour between sessions.
Events by boat on Lake Como
For corporate events, incentives and private parties on Lake Como we coordinate several private boats at the same time: wooden taxis for up to 11 guests each (16 on the largest), with one schedule and one confirmation. Typical uses are guest transfers to Villa Erba and Villa d'Este, an aperitivo cruise for a team, or a tour between conference sessions.
Always aboard.

Good questions.
How many guests can you move at once?
As many boats as are free that day: with the operators we work with, events of a few dozen guests are routine.
Do you issue an invoice to companies?
Yes: tell us the company details when you book.
