Best boat tour on Lake Como!
Private cruise with Omar on his classic 1950s wooden Molinari boat — unforgettable. The boat is beautiful, the views of the villas & towns are stunning. Omar is the perfect host: warm, knowledgeable and Prosecco on board sealed it. Book this. Highly recommended!

Amazing!
Our 2-hour private boat ride with our captain Omar on Lake Como was honestly everything my husband and I could have asked for and MORE! 🛥️✨
From start to finish, it was nothing but good vibes. Omar was accommodating, kind, and genuinely made sure we were having the best time. Between the laughs, the stories, and all the random conversations about life in general… it felt less like a boat tour and more like hanging out with a friend who just happens to know Lake Como inside and out.
My husband and I were having such an amazing time that I may or may not have gotten VERY drunk 😂🍾 but honestly, that just tells you how comfortable, fun, and unforgettable the experience was!
And the views? Absolutely breathtaking. Being out on the water, soaking it all in while laughing, talking, and enjoying the moment was such a special way to experience Lake Como. ❤️
His boat is Chef’s kiss. 🤌🏼✨🚤
If you’re looking for a private boat experience on Lake Como, Omar is your guy. 10/10 experience! We would do it all over again in a heartbeat! 🇮🇹❤️

10/10 Must do in Lake Como!
My wife and I had a 10/10 experience. Weather for our original date was going to be a storm, and they reached out ahead of time to reschedule. The cruise itself was fantastic with Captain Omar. His hospitality and friendliness gave us an experience we will never forget. Thank you for everything Omar!

Just right boat tour
Omar was a great tour guide. Enough information to help us feel a connection to the lake but not so much as to interfere with our quiet enjoyment. Highly recommended.

Amazing boat tour in Lake Como!
is the absolute best! He creates an experience from the moment that you step on the boat. The boat itself is beautiful and from the 1950s. He’s super informative about Lake Como, which made the tour even more exceptional. I would highly recommend to any one traveling to Lake Como. It felt like a friend showing us around. The Prosecco was the icing on the cake!

The best boat tour on Lake Como!
We had an amazing time on this boat tour and would definitely do it again! Cruising around Lake Como, enjoying great music, delicious prosecco, and taking in the breathtaking views of the lake’s most beautiful spots made for an unforgettable day.
Our captain was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time from start to finish. He shared interesting facts about Lake Como, kept the atmosphere fun, and even made sure our glasses were never empty. If you’re visiting Lake Como, this experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Incredible private boat tour
This boat trip was one of the highlights of our stay at Lake Como. Cruising across the lake on such a beautiful traditional wooden boat was a truly special experience. The peaceful atmosphere, incredible views, and hidden corners we discovered along the way made the day unforgettable.
Our captain made the trip even more memorable. He was incredibly welcoming, shared so many interesting stories, and showed us some of the most beautiful places around the lake that you can only fully appreciate from the water.
We loved every little detail — from the delicious Prosecco to the freedom of choosing our own music and creating the perfect atmosphere for our girls’ day. It felt relaxed, personal, and absolutely unique.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We had the best time and would happily join you again on our next visit to Lake Como!
