This private speedboat cruise on Lake Como lasts between one and four hours, with a typical duration of about two hours. The tour departs from the pier in Como, located in front of Bar Lario. After leaving the pier, the boat passes "The Life Electric," a large sculpture by architect Libeskind. The route continues along the western shore to Villa Olmo, a Neoclassical villa surrounded by a park and Italian garden. Next, the cruise reaches Cernobbio, where guests see Villa Erba, the former home of film director Luchino Visconti, and Villa d’Este, now a luxury hotel. Nearby is Villa Le Fontanelle, once owned by fashion designer Gianni Versace. The boat then moves on to Moltrasio and Carate Urio, towns noted for their private lakeside villas. The tour proceeds to Laglio, known for Villa Oleandra, the residence of George Clooney. Continuing south, the boat stops at Argegno, a small fishing village. The route then crosses Lake Como to the eastern shore to view the Orrido di Nesso gorge, where two streams meet and a waterfall flows beneath the Civera bridge. Swimming and diving from the bridge are possible. The boat heads to Villa Pliniana near Torno, where swimmers can take a refreshing dip in the lake. The tour passes the village of Torno, which extends to the water’s edge, and continues past the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The cruise includes a view of Villa Troubetzkoy before returning to Como, passing viale Geno and its notable city villas. Bottled water, carbonated beverages, and alcoholic drinks are included during the cruise.
