If you’re planning a wedding, an engagement session, or even just a romantic photoshoot on Lake Como, a private boat tour can turn a beautiful day into something truly unforgettable. Here’s why:
benefits
Of course, Lake Como is all about small picturesque towns with their narrow streets, luxurious villas, and green mountains. But being on its waters allows you to see all that from a completely different perspective, take it in in its entirety.
Many of Lake Como’s most famous villas are private residences. But from a boat, you can still get a good view of them and frame them as backdrops for your photos — no trespassing required.
On a boat it’s just you, the captain, and your photographer — can’t get more private than that. In peak season the towns’ promenades and the most famous villas like Balbianello, Melzi, or Monastero are bustling with tourists and visitors.
Of course, there’s always an option to book an exclusive use of a villa, but the price can go up to thousands of euros, and the time slots are extremely difficult to secure. A private boat tour delivers that same “exclusive” feeling for a lower price and with the advantage of being able to book with just 3-4 days notice.
And I mean, speeding across the lake in a fancy wooden Riva boat is a thrill in itself. Just look how stunning the boats are, and imagine the adrenaline rush you could get cruising on one at full speed!
how to book
There’s no shortage of boat providers around Lake Como — from vintage mahogany boats to sleek modern yachts. You can choose your tour based on:

- Boat style – classic wooden boats, Venetian limousines, modern speedboats, etc.
