About the experience

Step aboard a timeless piece of Lake Como’s heritage and experience the lake the way it was meant to be seen — from the elegant deck of a beautifully restored 1969 wooden limousine boat. With its polished mahogany finishes, classic lines and intimate atmosphere, this vintage vessel offers a truly authentic way to explore one of Italy’s most iconic destinations.

Departing from Menaggio, your journey begins as the boat glides smoothly across the sparkling waters of Lake Como. The gentle sound of the engine and the scent of polished wood immediately set the tone for a relaxing and refined experience. As you cruise along the shoreline, admire the dramatic alpine scenery, elegant lakeside villas and charming villages that make this region world-famous.

During this three-hour tour, your experienced captain will guide you through some of the lake’s most picturesque areas, sharing stories and local insights while you enjoy the ride from comfortable seating and sunbathing spots at the rear of the boat. The itinerary is flexible and designed to give you the best possible view of Lake Como’s highlights, with opportunities to slow down for photos, scenic cruising and refreshing swim stops where floating docks allow easy access back on board.

This experience is ideal for couples, families or small groups looking for something truly special on Lake Como. Highlights of the experience include:

- Cruising on an authentic vintage wooden speedboat built in 1969
- Discovering the lake’s iconic villas, landscapes and historic villages
- Relaxing on comfortable seating and sunbathing areas

What truly sets this experience apart is the boat itself. Built by the renowned Cadenazzi shipyard in Tremezzina and fully restored in 2023, it represents the elegance and craftsmanship that made Lake Como’s classic wooden boats legendary. Combined with attentive service and a carefully curated route, this tour offers an unforgettable glimpse into the timeless glamour of the lake.
