A dip in the lake’s shadow begins at the Sant’Agostino pier on Via Lungo Lario Trieste, where a sleek ALFASTREET 25 waits for a private group of up to six. The motor chugs, the shoreline slides by and villas step forward like characters in a long-running play; you float through their front yards, cameras ready.

A dip in the lake’s shadow begins at the Sant’Agostino pier on Via Lungo Lario Trieste, where a sleek ALFASTREET 25 waits for a private group of up to six. The motor chugs, the shoreline slides by and villas step forward like characters in a long-running play; you float through their front yards, cameras ready.
Lake Como’s steep amphitheater is carved by glacial action and centuries of human craftsmanship. From Roman-era settlements to medieval craftsmanship on Isola Comacina and the grand 18th–19th century villas that line the water, the tour traces both geology and culture from the unique vantage of the lake. The captain points out Villa Olmo, Villa d’Este, Villa Erba and the narrow ravine at Nesso — each stop revealing different stones, facades and shoreline horticulture.
Practically speaking, this private three-hour charter includes a captain/guide, insurance, bottled water, a bottle of white wine or prosecco, music, sunscreen and opportunities to swim and photograph from the water. Fuel and taxes are extra (noted fee payable in cash at the end). Departure is from central Como; there are no hop-on/hop-off services or pickups.
For travelers, timing matters: mid-morning light highlights villa facades and late-afternoon glow softens them. Bring a lightweight wind layer for the open lake, waterproof camera protection for swim stops, and a small dry bag for valuables. The experience is about perspective — seeing Como from the water turns private estates, rocky coves and the island’s history into an intimate coastal route.
The charter accommodates up to six people on the ALFASTREET 25.
Yes—captain-led stops at suitable coves and the Nesso ravine provide opportunities to swim; bring a towel and swimwear.
