About this tour
Glide across Lake Como aboard the Navicella del Lario, a restored wooden Venetian taxi built for elegance and comfort. This one-hour private charter accommodates up to ten passengers, giving you unshared access to the captain and full run of the lake. You'll drift past exclusive villa gardens, hidden coves, and dramatic alpine backdrops whilst sipping prosecco or chilled water. The boat's timber and leather interior feels refined without pretence—the kind of experience that justifies splashing out.

What to expect
Expect a leisurely boat ride, not a rushed sightseeing lap. Your captain will steer you toward spots that match the group's mood—lingering near your chosen shoreline, approaching notable estates, or simply anchoring where the light hits best. The boat handles 60 minutes at an easy pace, long enough to settle in but short enough to stay sharp. Weather protection means you won't be exposed if clouds roll across the mountains. Refreshments come as standard, so you can relax rather than hunt for a café.
Good to know
Service animals welcome; standard dogs are not. Prams and strollers work fine for infants. All fitness levels manage this tour—there's no hiking or physical exertion involved. Bus and train stations are walkable from the mooring. Book your prosecco preference in advance if dietary choices matter.
