About the experience

Imagine gliding across Lake Maggiore aboard a gleaming Riva Super Ariston as the afternoon light softens and the horizon begins to glow with the colors of the setting sun. This extended 5.5-hour tour is a journey into timeless elegance, offering a perfect blend of sightseeing, relaxation, and romance—all wrapped in the golden magic of the lake’s most scenic hours.

Your experience begins in the early afternoon from Stresa, where you’ll settle into the plush seating of the classic Riva and set off toward the shimmering Borromean Islands. Your first stop is Isola Bella, where you'll have time to explore the opulent palace and terraced gardens, or admire them from the water. Then it’s on to Isola Madre, a paradise of botanical beauty where you can stroll beneath rare trees and enjoy the peaceful ambiance. A stop at Isola dei Pescatori invites you to walk its charming narrow streets, shop for local crafts, or enjoy a late afternoon aperitivo by the water. As the day gently winds down, your captain will guide you to a peaceful vantage point near Santa Caterina del Sasso, where you’ll witness the sky catch fire over the lake before the sun dips behind the mountains.

What sets this tour apart is not just the extended duration, but the experience of it aboard the legendary Riva Super Ariston—a masterpiece of 1960s Italian design, handcrafted in mahogany and polished chrome. Unlike modern boats, the Riva brings a rare touch of glamour and nostalgia to your lake adventure. With ample time to both explore and unwind, the tour moves at a gentle, luxurious pace—allowing for swimming stops in hidden bays, champagne toasts at golden hour, and the freedom to shape the journey with your captain. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escape, a group of friends wanting a cinematic lake day, or simply someone who appreciates style and substance, this tour offers an unforgettable blend of nature, heritage, and elegance on the most beautiful waters in northern Italy.

    We had a fantastic time with Raffaele! I highly recommend his service. For a nice day out on the lake I recommend going for a swim by Isola Madre (Riva’s work well for swimming), lunch at Verbano st the Pescarore island and visit to the Palazzo at Isola Bella. We were two adults - Raffaele’s Riva would comfortably fit max 3 adults (plus Skipper) in my opinion. Best Tomi
