On a two‑hour private tour aboard an eight‑seater Scottiplast Delta 670, the captain steers close to shorelines few visitors see from land, giving you uninterrupted 360° views of Villa d'Este, Villa Balbianello and the cliff‑carved waterfalls that dare you to look closer.

History
Lake Como's shoreline was settled in Roman times and later became a playground for wealthy Milanese and European aristocracy; many villas were built or expanded between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Conservation
The lake’s ecology is sensitive to boat traffic and runoff; choose operators who follow low‑wash practices and avoid littering to protect water quality and shoreline habitats.

Take motion‑sickness precautions
If you get queasy, take antihistamine or acupressure bands before boarding — the fast motorboat and choppy wake can unsettle sensitive stomachs.
Protect against sun and glare
Bring high‑SPF sunscreen, polarized sunglasses and a hat — reflections off the lake intensify UV exposure even on cool days.
Secure cameras and phones
Use wrist straps or waterproof cases for devices; the captain may ask passengers to stay seated during higher speeds.
Dress in layers
Mornings and evenings on the lake can be chilly; a light windproof jacket keeps you comfortable when the boat cuts through open water.
