About this trip
Embrace the magic of Lake Maggiore in its most breathtaking light with a 5-hour afternoon-to-sunset cruise aboard a classic Riva Super Florida. With the sun slowly descending and the lake bathed in warm hues, this luxurious experience blends natural beauty, refined style, and timeless Italian charm into one unforgettable journey.
Departing from the elegant town of Stresa, your captain will guide you across the glittering waters of the Borromean Gulf. You’ll first explore the famed islands—Isola Bella with its baroque grandeur, Isola Madre with its lush botanical gardens, and the quaint, lived-in Isola dei Pescatori. The journey continues along the western shore, passing historic villas and gardens before reaching the dramatic cliffs of Santa Caterina del Sasso. There’s time to disembark for a short walk or simply enjoy the views from the boat. As the afternoon fades into evening, you’ll pause in a peaceful bay to sip prosecco and watch the sun melt into the lake, painting the sky in gold, pink, and lavender.
This cruise is not just about sightseeing—it’s about feeling. The Riva Super Florida offers a level of authenticity and elegance that no modern boat can replicate. With its glossy mahogany finish, retro curves, and heritage steeped in Italian style, riding in a Riva is like stepping into a vintage film. Unlike standard tours, this experience is private and slow-paced, allowing you to relax, unwind, and truly connect with the landscape. Your captain doubles as a local guide, sharing stories, pointing out hidden gems, and customizing the itinerary to your preferences. Whether you're celebrating a special moment or simply enjoying la dolce vita, this golden-hour cruise promises a journey filled with beauty, intimacy, and unforgettable emotion.
