THE ROUTE

A water‑only perspective on Lake Como

The tour threads a long itinerary of lakeside towns and landmarks—Como, Cernobbio, Laglio, Villa Balbianello, Bellagio and more—reaching sites that are difficult or impossible to access by road or public ferry.

THE MOMENT

Swim stops and prosecco

Guests can step off the yacht to swim in the lake’s clear water and enjoy Italian prosecco while underway—moments designed for relaxation between shore visits.

THE SERVICE

Private, customizable yacht cruise

The captain manages the boat and entertains the group with stories and anecdotes; the itinerary and the duration of individual stops are customizable and can be planned with the captain ahead of time.

What the day feels like

What the six hours feel like

The day unfolds as a private loop of the lake: the captain pilots a speedboat past grand gardens and cliffs, eases into quiet coves for swims, makes two planned shore calls and narrates local history and villa lore while you sit back with a glass of prosecco. Stops and timing are flexible and set in consultation with the captain.
