This was literally our first major excursion on our Italy trip, and it will be tough to beat! Omar and his assistant Ciara were incredible… Omar was professional, reaching out to touch base with me the day prior to the tour to nail down logistics… he even coordinated with our resort to pick us up there instead of 30 min down the road, for a very reasonable fee. He was very knowledgeable about Lake Como, but also knew how to show us a great time! I was traveling with my husband and my 3 children (two young adults, one teen), and the kids enjoyed it as much as we did! They played great music on the boat, including a song my daughter had just dropped on streaming platforms. They gave us extra time for a very fair price, dropped us off to tour Villa del Balbianello and waited on the lake for us, and got us free pizzas and Corona beers! We had the absolute best time— cannot recommend highly enough!!

Description
The most beautiful sailing experience on Lake Como, a historic boat, built entirely of wood, of great charm, there is only one in the world. Its qualities make browsing itself an experience. We are the only wooden boat of this size on Lake Como, and we always have 2 crew members, one for the guide, and one as assistance for the guests. The boat is equipped with toilet, shower, refrigerators, open bar service only with high quality products, not a single glass of wine, but excellent Prosecco, etc. We have a large sundeck space in front, a sunbathing space behind, and a covered space. For special needs, we have a bedroom, which is also excellent for resting the children. The boat can sail in any weather condition, with strong winds, with rain in complete peace of mind. Possibility of having a paid shuttle for the transfer from your position to the boat. Possible to have a photographer on the boat.

Private boat on Lake Como
I researched many of the boat options on Lake Como. This was by far the best. It was a beautiful boat that accommodated 9 people. They had 3 bottles of Prosecco for us to enjoy as we saw the sites on Lake Como. Omar and GianCarlo were excellent tour guides and fun too!

Fun Boat Tour! Definitely recommend!
I can't recommend this tour enough! My husband and I booked a private tour while on our honeymoon and look back to this as one of our favorite activities! The captain was funny and our tour guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and fun! We couldn't think of a better way to supplement the beauty of Lake Como than with this group! (Plus, a dip in the lake and unlimited champagne was a nice added touch!)

The best experience in Como lake
That was the most incredible day. Coming to Como lake has been a bit dream of mine and this tour allowed me to see all the most amazing parts of it. The generosity with drinks, kindness and helpfulness was so noticed. This was the best boat trip I’ve been on in Europe. Small group, great vibes, and insane views. If you’re looking to see Como lake via boat, definitely book this one.

A Highlight of Our Time at Lake Como
We had an amazing trip with Omar, the crew, and the rest of our fellow passengers. A jump off the Ponte della Civera bridge at Nesso, and a long swim at Isola Comacina were perfect for beating the heat. Oh, some beverages may have been consumed as well. Awesome time!

Made an incredible day even better. Will be booking with you again!
Cannot recommend this tour enough! Let's start from the beginning. Booking was very simple and easy. No payment needed until 2 days before the tour. Communication started immediately. The team reached out with instructions and guidance. They were very clear and simple to manage. Any requests or questions I had, the team dealt with them in good time. Overall the tour itself was great. Incredible views, you get some stories about the history and famous parts of Lake Como. The ride was very relaxing and smooth, I also used this opportunity to propose to my now Fiancé. I needed the team to help with a story as to why a photographer was onboard and to also help with taking her parents to the back of the boat to see my proposal from a different view. They were pro actors! Martina, Alex and Hunter were absolutely incredible I can't thank the team enough and will book again for future trips to Lake Como!
