What to expect
You'll board a shared boat with five other passengers maximum and set off into the lake's central waters, known locally as the Golden Triangle for its stunning scenery. As you cruise between villages, the captain shares stories and myths about Como whilst you relax on deck with drinks in hand. Weather permitting, you'll anchor at a quiet spot where you can jump overboard for a swim in the cold, clear lake. The aperitivo arrives mid-tour—a spread of regional cheeses, cured meats and vegetarian options with quality prosecco and beer.
