About this tour
A private two-hour boat tour exploring Lake Como's shoreline with a captain who knows the lake intimately. Navigate past villas, villages and steep green slopes at your own pace, with freedom to swim, linger in villages or simply drift along the water. Groups up to six travel together, and the boat carries aperitif and water. Shape the route around what draws you—history, architecture, quiet coves or a particular town.
Highlights
- Private captain steers the route to suit your interests
- Swim stops in the lake's clear water whenever you choose
- Step ashore to explore lakeside villages independently
- Historic villas and Alpine backdrop from the water
- Aperitif and refreshments included on board
What to expect
You'll board a private vessel with room for up to six passengers. The captain knows the lake's stories and landmarks and will point them out, but the tour rhythm is yours to set. Want to linger in Varenna or Menaggio? They'll wait. Fancy a swim? Anchor and jump in. Between village stops, you'll drift past grand waterfront estates nestled beneath mountains, with time to absorb the landscape without a schedule pressing. Bring a swimsuit and sunscreen if you plan to enter the water.
Good to know
Bottled water, towels and an aperitif are provided. The boat has a toilet on board. Infants sit on a lap; prams stay onshore. Not suitable if you have significant heart or cardiovascular concerns. All itineraries can be adjusted to your preferences before departure.
