The Lake Como Boat Tour Season Has Officially Started

The season has officially begun on Lake Como.

The boats are back on the water, the villas are shining under the spring sun, and the lake is slowly coming alive again. Every year, the beginning of the season marks a special moment — when Lake Como transitions from winter silence to vibrant summer energy.

If you are planning to visit Northern Italy, this is the perfect time to experience a Lake Como boat tour.


Why the Beginning of the Season Is the Best Time to Visit Lake Como

Many travelers think July and August are the only months to enjoy Lake Como. In reality, late spring and early summer are some of the most beautiful and exclusive moments of the year.

Here’s why:

  • Fewer crowds

  • Crystal-clear air and visibility

  • Calm waters

  • Comfortable temperatures

  • Better availability for private experiences

During this period, the lake feels authentic. You can truly appreciate the elegance of the historic villas, the surrounding mountains and the peaceful atmosphere without the intense summer traffic.

For photography lovers, this season offers perfect lighting conditions and softer reflections on the water.


A New Season, A Fresh Experience on the Water

With the start of the season, our fleet is fully prepared to welcome guests from all over the world.

Our modern performance boats are designed to navigate close to the water, offering a dynamic and immersive experience. Unlike large ferries, smaller boats allow you to:

  • Move freely

  • Take incredible photos

  • Feel the breeze

  • Enjoy unobstructed panoramic views

Whether you choose a shared boat tour or a private boat experience, the feeling of cruising across Lake Como at the start of the season is something special.

The lake feels new again.


What You’ll See During the Boat Tour

The beginning of the season is the ideal moment to admire Lake Como’s most iconic highlights:

Villa Balbianello

One of the most photographed villas in Italy, famous for international films and breathtaking terraces.

Villa Pizzo

Elegant gardens and classic architecture reflected directly on the water.

Orrido di Nesso

A dramatic natural waterfall that flows directly into the lake — one of the most unique spots in the area.

Scenic Mountain Landscapes

Clear skies and fresh seasonal air make the mountain views even more impressive.

Each route offers a mix of history, luxury and natural beauty.


Sunset Season Is Back

One of the most magical moments of the new season is the return of sunset boat tours.

Sunset on Lake Como is not just a view — it’s a mood.

This is also the most requested time slot for couples, proposals and content creators looking for that perfect golden-hour shot.


Shared or Private? Choose Your Style

At the start of the season, you can choose the experience that fits your travel style:

Shared Boat Tour

Perfect for couples, solo travelers and small groups who want to experience Lake Como in a relaxed, social setting.

Private Boat Tour

Ideal for anniversaries, proposals, birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and corporate events.

Private tours offer flexibility, privacy and a fully personalized route.


Why Now Is the Best Time to Book

The beginning of the Lake Como boat season is also when the calendar starts filling quickly.

Early reservations guarantee:

  • Preferred time slots

  • Sunset availability

  • Flexible departure options

  • Best seasonal atmosphere

As summer approaches, demand increases rapidly.

Booking early means enjoying Lake Como at its most authentic stage — before peak season crowds take over.
