Sail the Lecco branch of Lake Como aboard a small private boat, skimming past sunlit villages, villas and a white foaming cascade, with opportunities to swim in crystal‑clear water and to touch shore at some of the lake’s most photogenic spots such as Varenna, Bellagio and the tucked‑away fishing hamlet of Pescallo.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

SWIM

Take a dip in the lake

On private departures passengers are allowed to swim in the lake—an immediate way to experience the water and light that define the Lecco branch.

EXPERIENCE

Private‑tour flexibility

Private trips permit stops for a swim or short shore visits, giving groups the freedom to choose how to use the two hours on the water.

ACCESS

Visit hidden lakeside corners

The format of the private tour makes it possible to reach smaller, quieter spots along the Lecco branch that are otherwise easy to miss from land.

What the day feels like

What the two‑hour cruise feels like

The route threads the narrow arm of the lake, passing the fine sand of Lierna’s beach, the white cascade at Fiumelatte, the historic villa gardens of Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi, and the stacked, colorful houses of Varenna before turning toward Bellagio and the small, poetic fishing enclave of Pescallo—an intimate, shoreline‑level tour that combines village views, villa façades and time on the water.
