About this tour
Hire a private boat and captain for a bespoke hour on Lake Como, charting your own route past waterfront villages and grand villas. Your skipper knows the lake intimately—ask for dining recommendations at lakeside restaurants, or simply point the boat where you fancy. You'll cruise past Cernobbio, Como, Laglio and other settlements while spotting architectural landmarks including George Clooney's Villa Oleandra, Villa Erba, and the ancient Roman bridge at Nesso.

What to expect
You'll meet your captain and board at your chosen location, then spend an hour on the water at a relaxed pace. The captain will suggest stops and dining venues based on your interests—whether that's a quick aperitivo at a harborside bar or a full meal at one of the region's better restaurants. You'll drift past elegant lakefront property and mountain backdrops, spotting villas and landmarks without feeling rushed. The boat itself becomes your vantage point; you're not herded through crowds or locked into a group itinerary.
Good to know
Bring a light layer for lake breezes, especially mornings and evenings. Tips are additional. Children can travel freely; infants must sit with an adult. Pregnant travellers should skip this one. Restaurant meals cost extra and are booked separately with your captain's help.
