About this tour
Cruise Lake Como aboard a restored vintage vessel, piloted by former diving professionals who know the waterway's hidden corners intimately. Between 1 and 4 hours on the water lets you drift past lakeside villas, mountain backdrops and villages without the noise of a speedboat. Your skipper shares stories about the properties and landscape most visitors miss, while Prosecco and water keep you refreshed throughout the outing.

What to expect
You'll board a beautifully maintained classic boat and settle into comfortable seating as your skipper plots a course around the lake's perimeter. The engine is quiet enough to hear the water and birdsong. Your guide points out architectural details on grand houses, explains the geology of surrounding peaks, and occasionally reveals backstories about residents or locations only visible from the water. The boat moves slowly enough to photograph freely but covers enough ground to see the lake's character shift—from bustling towns to tranquil bays.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a light layer; reflection off water intensifies UV exposure and breeze can cool quickly. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Service animals welcome. The lake's water temperature rarely exceeds 20°C, so swimming isn't typical unless arranged in advance.
