The Lake Como private wooden boat tour aboard the Navicella del Lario lasts about four hours. The tour departs from the tourist wharf in Como at Lungo Lario Trieste, 26. The Navicella del Lario is a traditional Venetian taxi completely renovated in 2021, featuring an interior finished in wood and leather and seating for up to 11 passengers. Another boat, Sophie, built in 2024, has a mahogany interior with leather cushions and includes a heated passenger cabin for colder months. The boat is equipped with sun awnings and a cover for protection in bad weather. The captain remains available throughout the trip to accommodate passenger requests. Onboard refreshments include bottled water, carbonated drinks, and alcoholic beverages. The route covers the entire lake, passing notable sites in this order: the Life Electric installation by Daniel Libeskind near the outer dam, the seaplane hangar, Villa Olmo, a neoclassical villa designed by Simone Cantoni, and Villa Erba, built between 1894 and 1898 by architects Angelo Savoldi and Giovan Battista Borsani. The tour continues to Cernobbio, known for its villas and luxury hotels, including the five-star Villa d'Este with its mosaic and floating pool. Next is Moltrasio, where passengers see Villa Pizzo, a 17th-century noble residence on the Gulf of Cernobbio, and Villa Le Fontanelle, formerly owned by Gianni Versace. Before reaching the Moltrasio boat landing, the tour passes Villa Passalacqua, recognized in 2024 as the best hotel in the world. The final stop is Carate Urio, located past Moltrasio. Heating is available on board during the winter season. Dogs are not allowed on the boat. The tour combines the traditional wooden boat experience with Italian glamour through the elegant design and comfort of the vessels and attentive service.
