“First One” Boat

Step aboard the Armonia for private luxury tours on Lake Como. Experience elegant design, expert crew service, and the stunning northern Italian lake scenery in unmatched style.

Lake Como, cradled in northern Italy’s Lombardia region, is a place where steep wooded hills rise sharply from placid waters, villages cling to rocky shores, and reflections of historic villas ripple across the surface. Here, B&S Boat Service Srl offers an unparalleled way to absorb this iconic landscape: aboard their flagship "Armonia," a wooden Tullio Abbate boat that redefines lakeside luxury. This isn’t just a boat trip—it’s a meticulously crafted experience tailored for those who value comfort and exclusivity.

The Armonia commands attention with its sleek lines and polished wooden decks, a blend of elegant design and superior performance. With room for up to seven passengers, it provides an intimate setting, enhanced by refined interiors and an attentive professional crew. Guests glide past landmarks like the Villa del Balbianello and the dramatic promontory of Bellagio while enjoying complimentary soft drinks and a bottle of prosecco, an ideal touch for celebratory moments or serene afternoons.

Beyond the aesthetic allure, the boat is equipped for refreshing swims in designated bays, offering a direct connection to the lake’s crystal-clear depths. The crew’s expertise ensures navigation through the lake’s famous narrow inlets and secret coves, where natural beauty and calm waters create a near-private sanctuary. B&S Boat Service stands out in the Lake Como outdoor recreation scene as a premium provider blending local maritime heritage with modern luxury.

The region’s unique glacial lake basin, carved by ancient ice flows and framed by the Alps, supports a diverse ecosystem visible from the water, including elegant cormorants and shy otters. The company’s dedication to comfort, safety, and environmentally respectful tours enriches every moment on board. For those seeking a memorable day on Lake Como, whether a honeymoon, family outing, or solo retreat, the Armonia offers a seamlessly crafted itinerary—where every vista is framed, every experience customized, and the lake reveals itself in unparalleled style.
