Pre-wedding and couples
The classic Riva or a Venetian-style wooden boat, golden hour, the villas behind you: one or two hours give a full set of images. The captain knows where the light is and where to stop safely.
Photoshoots on a boat on Lake Como
Lake Como is one of the most photographed places in the world, and from a boat you reach the backdrops you cannot get from land: Villa del Balbianello, Bellagio from the water, the villas of Moltrasio and Laglio. A private boat for a shoot costs from €600 for 2 hours for the whole boat; your photographer comes on board, or we put you in touch with one.
Always aboard.

Good questions.
Which boat looks best in photos?
The classic Riva, booked by name, and the Venetian-style wooden taxis.
What is the best time of day?
The two hours before sunset and the first hour after sunrise, when the lake is calm.
Do we need a permit?
Personal shoots on a private boat need none. For commercial productions in villas or public spaces, permits are arranged with the owners or the town.
