From 1 to 7 hours, plus a dedicated sunset tour. Shorter tours focus on cruising past the villas; from 3 hours you can add stops to explore villages and villas on land.

Yes. Villa Oleandra in Laglio is on the route of the tours of 2 hours or more, along with other historic villas best seen from the water. It is a private residence: you see it from the boat as we cruise by.

Yes, on tours of 3 hours or longer. The 3-hour Bellagio & Villas tour includes a 30-minute stop in Bellagio or at Villa del Balbianello; with 5 or 7 hours the stops are longer. Villa del Balbianello belongs to FAI: it is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays and the ticket is booked separately.

Yes, on longer tours there is time to stop for a swim in a quiet cove, away from the crowds, where conditions and lake rules allow it. The water is warmest from July to early September.

Yes. We arrange sunset cruises, marriage proposals, weddings and dinners on the lake, each tailored to you. For the Sunset Tour, proposals and weddings send us a request with your date: we reply with the time and the price.

Boarding and prices

Where you board and what it costs

Our boat is based at Brienno, on the western shore of the lake, a few minutes from Laglio and George Clooney's villa. We pick you up at the jetty of the town you choose when booking: Como, Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Blevio, Carate Urio, Laglio, Faggeto Lario, Argegno, Sala Comacina, Lezzeno, Lenno, Tremezzo, Bellagio, Varenna or Menaggio.

Up to 7 guests on the 8.5-metre motorboat and up to 11 on the Venetian-style wooden boat: you choose the boat when you book online, at the same price. The boat is exclusively yours, never shared with strangers.

Per boat. Whether you are two or seven the tour price is the same: for example the 2-hour tour costs 500 EUR, about 71 EUR each for a group of seven.
