The 15 Best Lake Como Yacht Charters

1.1H Luxury Cruise Como Lake Tender Yacht Invictus 9 Pax

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 100 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $108Our pick

Cruise Lake Como from Como toward Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Laglio, Torno, and Blevio aboard a luxury Invictus yacht for up to nine people. Guides including Luca and Giorgio point out famous villas, with music and Prosecco sometimes included. The boat returns to Como after about one hour.

“This was a scam. On the day of the event, a couple of hours before, we received a Whatsapp message saying that their original boat was broken, hence we should pay 80€ more for a private tour on another boat. I said that they could honor the price even if it was another boat, but they refused. When I mentioned that the situation was frustrating, they said that it was also frustrating for them having to pay for their boat repairs. Obviously, we had no time to make alternate arrangements and ended up with no tour at all. Not sure why Viator works with this company. Stay away.”

If they give you an option for appetizers (at an additional cost), don’t hesitate to do it. What they had prepared was fabulous and really added to our experience.”

Share a private Tender Yacht Invictus with up to six people for a one-hour cruise from Como. Pass Cernobbio, Villa Erba, Villa Fontanelle, Laglio, Villa Oleandra, Villa Pliniana, and Blevio with an English-speaking captain.

“Our captain was very nice and knowledgeable! We enjoyed the history and stories he told us. The views were breathtaking and the music was wonderful. However, I am unable to give it 5 stars because our tour started 30 minutes late. It was explained that there were technical difficulties but when the boat arrived there was another group finishing their tour and food from their trip was left behind when we started our tour. It also felt rushed when we were brought on to the boat, which could have been due to the late start but it made it feel less than relaxed. The description noted that prosecco and water…”

“The lake is beautiful and the boat was great. Our captain was also a pretty cool person and took the time to explain things. The reason for the average score was the owner. He is really greedy. We asked him to pick up on his boat at our hotel. Our hotel is on the route of the trip. We didn't make the go backwards and show us what we missed. Then we asked him to drop us off at Bellagio. Again, a village that we were supposed to visit but he charged us 250 euros for different dropoff and pickup. I would not recommend this company because of the owner.”

We eventually spotted someone with a La Dolce Vita tee shirt and hat and shortly afterwards the boat arrived with the previous guests. We hadn’t booked the trip ourselves as it was part of a completion prize and had no idea what the trip had cost and to our surprise we were the only people on the trip.”
