Private boat tour on Lake Como with skipper

Your own boat and skipper: 1 to 3 hours among the villas, prosecco included

The lake, all to yourselves

No shared timetable and no strangers on board: on a private tour the boat leaves when you decide and the route is planned with your skipper. One hour covers the villas of the first basin, two adds the Nesso gorge, three reaches Bellagio and the centre of the lake. The prosecco toast and soft drinks are always included.

The private tour itinerary, hour by hour

1
First hour · the first basin

You leave the Como pier and within minutes Villa Olmo, Villa Geno and the historic mansions of the Cernobbio shore glide past, with Villa Erba and the view of the Duomo from the water.

2
Second hour · Torno and Nesso

The route follows the eastern shore: the stone roofs of Torno, the Mandarin Oriental seen from the lake and the Nesso gorge - the waterfall you cannot see from the road, but you can from the boat.

3
Third hour · Bellagio and the centre lake

With three hours you reach the tip of Bellagio, where the three branches of the lake meet: stop ashore on request, or take the wide route past the centre-lake villas.

4
Your personal touch

A photo stop in front of a villa, the spot where a friend proposed, a summer swim: tell your skipper at departure and the route adapts.
