On a private boat tour on Como lake, you can discover the secret spots that you would not be able to see from the land; Chartering our boat you will be able to see historic villas, beautiful gardens, fishermen villages and beautiful landscapes. Other pick-up points, different from the pre-established one in Como, may be arranged, but only if compatible with the length of the selected tour. For instance, it is impossible to arrange a pick-up in Varenna or Bellagio if opting for a one-hour tour. Conversely, it is possible to arrange a pick-up in Cernobbio or Blevio even when choosing a one-hour tour, as these are villages very close to Como, which, as a reminder, serves as the base for our vessels.
