A half-day tour of Lake Como's most beautiful villas

Aboard the Boesch 640 Costa Brava, a restored 1970 Swiss mahogany runabout with a Crusader V8 engine, half a day is enough to see the best of Lake Como. The boat is moored in Tremezzo, on the western shore, and from there the captain guides guests along some of the most famous spots on the entire lake.

The route passes Villa del Balbianello, with its terraced gardens overlooking the water and made famous by international film productions, before crossing to Bellagio, the village that overlooks Tremezzo from the point where the lake divides into its two branches. From there, the tour continues to Varenna, with its colorful houses perched high above the water, and on to Nesso, famous for its small ravine and the bridge that spans it. This route is designed to alternate navigation with photo stops, taking your time, allowing you time to enjoy every corner before returning to Tremezzo. The four hours available allow for longer stops than a quick tour, without turning the day into an endless journey.

The Boesch, with its polished mahogany lines and the distinctive roar of the Crusader engine, is part of the experience: traveling on a vintage boat changes the way you experience the lake, making each stop more special than a standard charter motorboat. The captain remains at the helm throughout the trip, so guests can focus solely on the scenery.
