About this tour
Sail Lake Como aboard BOWIE, a 42-foot vessel built for both speed and ease. This private charter runs 2–7 hours depending on your preference, steering you past Alpine villas and mountain-ringed villages whilst the skipper shares local colour about the shoreline. You'll have aperitifs on deck, your own playlist through the sound system, and the option to swim in the lake's clear water. It's a relaxed afternoon or evening afloat, tailored to what you want from it—celebration, romance, or simply time away from the crowds.

What to expect
You'll board in the morning or afternoon and settle into the helm as the skipper catches the wind. The boat moves smoothly across Como's deep blue expanse, and you can lounge on deck with a drink in hand while conversation turns to the grand villas dotting the shoreline—their histories, the families who built them, the villages tucked between mountains. If the water appeals, you'll drop anchor for a dip; towels and swimming basics are stocked. The Bluetooth speaker means you're not hostage to silence, and the skipper reads the lake and your mood, lingering where you wish to linger. Expect a quieter, more intimate take on Lake Como than the usual tour-bus circuit.
Good to know
Children and infants welcome; babies sit on laps, buggies stay ashore. No special fitness required. The boat operates year-round, though summer is warmest for swimming. Book your preferred departure time and duration in advance. Public transport links exist nearby if you need to get to the marina.
