When visiting Lake Como, a motorboat ride is simply a must. Gliding across the water, surrounded by mountains and lined with elegant villas, offers a perspective that no other vantage point can truly match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget long lines and crowded ferries\u2014our private boat tours departing from Varenna, on the east shore directly across from Bellagio, give you the Lake in all its splendour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varenna Holidays has years of experience welcoming guests from all over the world. This year, we’ve updated our offer<\/a> with a speed motor tour<\/a> aboard a stylish Colombo motorboat, built by respected boatyards on the Lake. It\u2019s a comfortable and elegant way to explore the Lake, ideal for couples, families, or small groups\u2014relaxing, intimate, and fun all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll set your itinerary together with the English-speaking captain, based on your preferences and timing. We recommend including the breathtaking views of Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, and the charming towns of Bellagio, Menaggio, and Tremezzo, all located in the centre of the Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose between daytime tours or evening outings. During the day, the Lake is full of vibrant reflections; in the evening, the light softens, and the landscape becomes serene and romantic. You\u2019ll have time to pause for photos, enjoy the breeze, and take in the atmosphere\u2014day or night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A special note for those visiting in May and June: sunset cruises during these months are particularly magical. The golden light of early summer, the calm water, and the reduced ferry traffic create the perfect moment to experience Lake Como at its most peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boat tours are among the most requested experiences on the Lake<\/a>, especially in spring and early summer, so we highly recommend booking in advance to avoid missing out. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, let us know\u2014we\u2019ll be happy to help you organise a truly unforgettable day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
