About this tour
Spend six hours cruising Lake Como aboard Chloè, a well-appointed 300 HP vessel helmed by Carlo, a seasoned skipper who knows the lake intimately. You'll drift past the lakeside estates that define this corner of Italy, then dock at a locally favoured restaurant Carlo selects based on season and your preferences. A proper meal overlooking the water breaks up the journey—no rushed tourist fare, just solid regional cooking in a setting that feels genuine.

What to expect
You'll board Chloè and settle in as Carlo plots a route that showcases the lake's architectural and natural highlights. The boat moves at a leisurely pace—designed for taking in details rather than covering distance. Around the midpoint, you'll pull into a spot where Carlo escorts you ashore to a restaurant he's vetted for authentic local dishes and thoughtful service. The venue shifts with the seasons and your stated interests, so expect variety across different departures. Back on the water afterward, the return leg lets you absorb the landscape differently as light changes.
Good to know
Lunch is not included in the price—budget separately for the restaurant meal. Tipping is at your discretion. There's no toilet aboard, so use facilities onshore. Villa entrance fees are separate if you wish to visit any properties. Prams and strollers work fine for young children; service animals welcome.
