About this tour
Hire a private speedboat on Lake Como for a bespoke cruise tailored to your pace and interests. Depart from Bellagio, Varenna, Lenno, or Menaggio and spend between four and eight hours exploring the shoreline at your own tempo. Skip the scheduled ferry routes and anchor in quiet spots where public boats cannot venture. Your captain reads the conditions and adjusts course based on what appeals to you—whether that's gliding past grand lakeside estates, swimming in secluded coves, or simply drifting with a cold drink.

What to expect
You'll board a stable, well-appointed speedboat and work with your captain to sketch out the day. Want to linger off a particular villa? Stop. Fancy a swim? Cut the engine and anchor. The boat handles Lake Como's variable conditions smoothly, and you're free to adjust plans mid-voyage based on weather, mood, or curiosity. The aft deck is spacious enough to stretch out, and basic amenities—water, toilet, shower—are on hand. Expect the captain to offer local knowledge about landmarks and quieter swimming spots while respecting your preference for silence or conversation.
