Lake Como, located in Italy's Lombardia region, is a destination defined by its dramatic alpine backdrop and shimmering deep-blue waters. Stretching across an expansive glacial basin formed during the last Ice Age, it offers a unique combination of striking geology and cultivated elegance that has captivated travelers for centuries. Como Classic Boats taps into this remarkable setting with their Riva Aquarama Sunset Tour — a four-hour luxury voyage highlighting the lake’s most iconic sights from a unique vantage point.
This small-group experience, capped at six passengers, invites visitors aboard the famed Riva Aquarama, a classic wooden motorboat revered for its craftsmanship and graceful lines. As your expert English-speaking captain navigates along the shoreline, you’ll glide past timeless villas like Villa Carlotta’s botanical gardens, Villa Oleandra’s celebrity charm, and the stately Villa d’Este. The towns of Bellagio and Varenna unfold like living history, their colorful harbors and cobblestone streets framed by the lake’s crystal-clear waters.
A distinctive feature of this journey is the personalized stop at a location of your choice, whether a quiet beach, a quaint village dock, or a secluded cove. Refreshments including Prosecco and water keep spirits high as you soak in the fading light of an Italian sunset over mountain peaks.
