About the experience

Step aboard the legendary Riva Aquarama Special and indulge in the glamour of la dolce vita on the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore. With its polished mahogany finish, vintage charm, and whisper-quiet engine, this iconic boat offers the perfect escape for those seeking serenity, beauty, and timeless luxury.

Departing from the elegant town of Stresa, your half-day tour will take you on a relaxed cruise through the Borromean Gulf, where history, nature, and Italian elegance blend effortlessly. Your first stop is Isola Bella, where the baroque palace and its terraced gardens set the stage for a brief walk or simply admiring from the water. Next, glide to Isola dei Pescatori, a quaint fishermen’s island with narrow alleys, lakefront trattorias, and an irresistible authentic charm. Continue on to Isolino di San Giovanni, a lesser-known but enchanting island once loved by conductor Arturo Toscanini. The final stop is Villa Pallavicino, viewed best from the lake, with its lush gardens and elegant façade nestled among tall cypress trees.

What sets this experience apart is the Riva Aquarama itself—an icon of Italian nautical design, once favored by celebrities and royalty. Its smooth ride, handcrafted woodwork, and open layout offer unrivaled comfort and panoramic views. Unlike crowded tourist boats, this private tour ensures exclusivity, peace, and a tailored pace. Whether you recline in the sun, toast with a glass of prosecco, or simply take in the breeze, you’ll feel like you’re part of a Fellini film. This is not just a boat ride—it’s an immersion into the golden age of Italian leisure, set against the majestic backdrop of Lake Maggiore.
