Mostes Classic Boats is a Lake Como boat operator offering a diverse fleet for private hire and guided tours. The company presents options that include license-free 510 boats for self-drive days on the lake, as well as higher-powered 620, 770, and 800-class motorboats that require a boat license. Many experiences are captain-led using Venetian Limousine boats that prioritize panoramic views and passenger comfort.
Tours and hire options cover short 1-hour cruises, sunset excursions, 4–6 hour village and wonder-lake tours, and full-day 8-hour luxury voyages. Popular itineraries visit lakeside towns such as Bellagio, Varenna, and Tremezzo, and pass landmark villas referenced in trip summaries, including Villa Carlotta, Villa Oleandra, Villa Balbianello, and Villa D’Este. Several tours highlight private stops for swimming, sightseeing, and lunch at recommended local restaurants.
Fleet descriptions indicate specific engine types for licensed boats (for example, 250-horsepower Honda and Mercury engines in certain models) and explicitly state when a boat license is required. Trip summaries provide duration, route highlights, and whether a captain is included, helping guests choose between self-drive freedom and captain-led convenience. Featured on The Adventure Collective, Mostes Classic Boats provides private, customizable Lake Como experiences for couples, families, and small groups seeking scenic navigation, historic-site sightseeing, and flexible itineraries.
