Winter boat tour on Lake Como in a covered mahogany boat
We run private tours all year. In the colder months our Venetian-style mahogany boat offers an enclosed cabin, heated on request, so you can see the lake sheltered from the wind.

How a winter outing works
Lake Como does not close for the season, and neither do we. From late autumn to early spring we organise private outings whenever the weather and lake conditions make it safe. The final decision always rests with the skipper on the day.
For cold days we suggest the Venetian-style mahogany boat. It is a genuine wooden boat with a fully open Riva-style deck and an enclosed cabin where up to 10 people sit comfortably. Heating in the cabin is available on request when that boat is available for your date.
The tour is private: the boat, the skipper and the route are for your group only. You choose the duration and the departure pier, and the price is per boat, not per person.

Why choose a covered boat in winter
Enclosed cabin, heated on request
Sit inside out of the wind and step onto the open deck for photos whenever you like.
Comfortable for up to 10 people
The cabin comfortably seats up to 10 guests; the overall booking capacity stays the same as for every tour.
Private skipper
Your skipper handles navigation and adapts the route to the light, the wind and the conditions on the day.
Genuine mahogany boat
Varnished wood, brass details and the classic lines of a Venetian-style taxi, also in the low winter light.
