About the experience

Discover Lake Como at a slower, more immersive pace aboard a beautifully restored vintage wooden limousine boat dating back to 1969. With its elegant design, handcrafted details and intimate atmosphere, this classic vessel offers a unique way to experience the lake’s legendary scenery and timeless charm.

Your journey begins in Menaggio, where you’ll step aboard and immediately feel the character of this historic boat. As the polished wooden hull cuts through the water, the surrounding landscapes open up — from dramatic mountain backdrops to elegant villas and picturesque lakeside towns that have attracted visitors for centuries.

With four hours on the water, this extended tour allows you to explore deeper into Lake Como and fully enjoy its most iconic locations. Your captain will guide you along scenic routes while sharing local knowledge and stories that bring the lake to life. The pace is relaxed and flexible, giving you time to soak in the views, capture photos and truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings.

The extra time on board also allows for memorable stops along the way. Depending on your preferences, the captain can pause for a refreshing swim, a drink by the water or a leisurely lunch at one of the lake’s charming waterfront spots with easy dock access.

During the tour you can enjoy:
- A cruise aboard an authentic vintage wooden limousine boat
- Extended exploration of Lake Como’s most scenic areas
- Comfortable seating and sunbathing space at the rear of the boat
- Optional stops for swimming, lakeside drinks or lunch

What makes this experience truly special is the combination of classic Italian craftsmanship and a personalized atmosphere. Built by the historic Cadenazzi shipyard and recently restored, the boat captures the elegance of Lake Como’s golden boating era while offering a relaxed and intimate way to discover the lake’s beauty.

For those who want more than just a quick cruise, this extended experience reveals Lake Como the way locals know it — slowly, beautifully and in unforgettable style!
