How we plan it
Write in the booking notes that it is a proposal. The captain will suggest the right spot, in front of a villa or in the open lake with Bellagio behind you, and the moment, and will keep the surprise.
A proposal on a boat on Lake Como
A proposal on a private boat on Lake Como is usually planned at sunset: 2 hours for €700 for the whole boat, only the two of you and the captain, with prosecco on board. Flowers, a bottle of champagne or a photographer following in a second boat can be arranged on request.
Always aboard.

Which boat
A Venetian-style wooden taxi is romantic and spacious. For an unforgettable photo, book the classic Riva by name (from 2 hours).
If the weather turns
If the captain cancels for bad weather, you choose a new date or a full refund. Book a day with some margin around it if you can.

Good questions.
Can a photographer come?
Yes, on board or from a second boat for distance shots. Ask in the notes and we confirm availability and price.
What time is sunset?
From about 17:00 in winter to after 21:00 in June: the booking box offers departure times built around the sunset of your day.
