Arrival and photos
The classic choice is a wooden boat or the Riva for the couple, with the photographer on board or following. One or two hours are enough for an arrival and a session in front of the villas.
Boats for weddings and elopements on Lake Como
For a wedding or an elopement on Lake Como you can book a private boat for the bride's arrival, a photo session on the water after the ceremony, or transfers for guests between villas, hotels and restaurants. Prices start from €300 per boat for one hour; for many guests we book several boats at the same time.
Always aboard.
