About this trip

Feel the wind in your hair and the timeless elegance beneath your feet as you cruise across Lake Maggiore aboard a vintage Riva Super Florida. This isn’t just a boat ride—it’s a journey through style, history, and natural beauty, where the past meets the present in the most glamorous way.

Departing from the enchanting town of Stresa, this two-hour tour invites you to discover the lake’s most iconic sights and hidden gems. You’ll begin by gliding past the Borromean Islands, taking time to admire Isola Bella’s ornate palace and Isola Madre’s lush botanical gardens. From there, the tour continues toward the picturesque Isola dei Pescatori, where you’ll enjoy close-up views of traditional lake life. The boat then heads along the western shoreline, past elegant villas and quiet inlets, toward Santa Caterina del Sasso—an ancient hermitage perched dramatically on the cliffs. Before returning to Stresa, you’ll pass by Villa Aminta and other storied landmarks that line the coast.

What makes this experience truly exceptional is the boat itself—a restored Riva Super Florida, a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and 1950s Riviera glamour. Unlike larger group tours, this private cruise offers intimacy, flexibility, and the chance to live a movie-like moment on the lake. Every detail, from the polished wood finish to the soft leather seats, evokes a sense of sophistication and nostalgia. Your experienced captain doubles as a storyteller, enriching the ride with anecdotes about the lake’s history, villas, and islands. Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply want to indulge in beauty and tranquility, this tour offers a rare blend of luxury, serenity, and authenticity. It’s not just a ride—it’s an experience to be remembered.
