A Day of Italian Elegance – Full-Day Island Cruise on a Riva Super Florida

Step aboard the legendary Riva Super Florida and treat yourself to a full day of timeless elegance and exploration on the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore. From the first moment you settle into the boat’s polished mahogany and soft leather, you’ll know this isn’t just a tour—it’s an experience of la dolce vita at its finest.

Departing from the charming lakeside town of Stresa, your day unfolds across the most iconic and picturesque locations in the Borromean Gulf and beyond. Begin with a scenic cruise to Isola Bella, where you can admire the stunning baroque palace and gardens from the water or disembark for a walk through its ornate grounds. Then, continue to Isola Madre, the most tranquil and lush of the islands, perfect for a peaceful stroll surrounded by rare plants and peacocks. At midday, stop at Isola dei Pescatori for a leisurely lakeside lunch in one of the island’s traditional restaurants. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing cruise along the lake’s western shore toward Santa Caterina del Sasso, a centuries-old monastery clinging dramatically to the cliffs. The return to Stresa is slow and scenic, with time to pause for a swim in a quiet bay or a glass of prosecco on deck.

What makes this tour unique is the unmistakable charm of the Riva Super Florida—a vintage masterpiece of Italian design, handcrafted in mahogany and steeped in mid-century glamour. Unlike larger, impersonal group tours, this private cruise is completely tailored to your rhythm and interests. The captain is not just a driver but a local expert and storyteller, happy to adjust the route, recommend hidden gems, or let you linger wherever your heart desires. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury, privacy, and personalized attention. With full access to the lake, plenty of time to explore, and the pure joy of cruising aboard a floating icon, this full-day tour offers a rare and refined way to experience Lake Maggiore. It’s not just a day on the lake—it’s a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.
