Boat tour on Lake Como

About this tour

Cruise Lake Como for an hour aboard a private boat with prosecco and sound system. You'll float past the grand villas dotting the shoreline, with time to relax, take in the landscape, or dance to music. The boat carries a small group, so it feels intimate rather than crowded. Fuel costs (€130) are paid separately on the day. Bring swimmers if you fancy a dip; the water's clear enough to tempt you.

Highlights

• Private one-hour boat with prosecco and sound system
• Views of Como's famous lakeside villas and gardens
• Polaroid souvenir to take home
• Wifi onboard; bring a towel or use theirs
• Small group atmosphere, no tour bus feel

What to expect

You'll board at the designated dock and head out across the lake with your skipper and a handful of other passengers. The boat sits low in the water, giving you an unfiltered view of the shoreline architecture and surrounding mountains. You'll pass several notable villas—though some warrant longer visits that aren't covered in this hour. Music plays softly or louder depending on the mood; prosecco flows freely. There's room to move around, sit quietly, or chat with fellow travellers. The water is genuinely clean and inviting.

Good to know

Fuel surcharge of €130 is paid directly on arrival, not included in the base price. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses. Pregnant travellers should check with the skipper beforehand. Infants must sit with an adult. Service animals welcome. Public transport links exist if you'd rather skip the boat entirely.
