About This Tour

Lake Como in the first light of morning, as the lake awakens to the light of the new day: an hour and a half aboard a private boat, with the captain all to yourselves.

At dawn Lake Como is a different lake: the water is calm, the villages are still quiet and the villas overlook the water in a stillness that is hard to find during the day. It is the most peaceful and intimate moment to experience it from the water.

It is the ideal tour for those who want to take plenty of photos in front of the villas: compared with our one-hour tour there is more time to pause in front of each one and find the perfect shot, while the soft morning light and calm water offer perfect views to take home.

If you prefer a different time, the tour can also be enjoyed during the day: same itinerary, same care, you choose when to set sail.

We depart from Varenna and return to Varenna, to experience the lake from a perspective only the water can offer.

An elegant and special way to say good morning to Lake Como, or to treat yourselves to an hour and a half on the lake whenever you like.

The itinerary and stops are indicative: if you would like to do something different or reach a place that is particularly dear to you, we can take you straight there, within the time booked.
