About the experience

Embark from the picturesque village of Varenna aboard Crissi for a full-day voyage that unveils the very best of Lake Como’s legendary shores. Over eight leisurely hours, you’ll traverse from timeless estates to charming hamlets, surrounded by soaring cliffs and sapphire waters.

Your adventure begins as Crissi glides past the elegant villas of Cernobbio, then on to Laglio, where George Clooney’s famed Villa Oleandra graces the shoreline. Next, explore the cinematic grandeur of Villa Balbianello, perched on its wooded point and immortalized in James Bond and Star Wars. Crossing the lake, you’ll pause in Bellagio, “Pearl of the Lake,” with its pastel facades, fragrant gardens, and bustling waterfront cafés.

In the afternoon, Crissi carries you to Nesso, where a dramatic gorge channels a waterfall into the lake below, then onward to the tranquil villages of Torno and Blevio, each offering tranquil vistas and historic charm. Throughout the day, bask on deck with a chilled Prosecco aperitif, indulge in gourmet snacks, and stay connected with onboard Wi‑Fi and a premium audio system setting your perfect soundtrack.

    Such an amazing crew. They are so knowledgeable and bring so much positivity to the trip. I loved the little stops they made to explain some history that we did not know about. Very patient and flexible. Whether you’re wanting to have a party on the boat or a chill relaxing time, massimo provides whatever experience you need and is happy to do so. Highly recommend. Thank you for making our first lake Como trip memorable.

    Massimo was great. He was quick to respond to my questions and a request for a quote. Booked a 4 hour tour with him and he took us to different spots around the lake and gave us advice as to where is good to eat.

    If you are traveling to Lake Como and want to visit sites around the lake you should definitely book a private boat and if you do you should absolutely book Massimo and his boat Crissi sul Lago. He is a wonderful skipper and helps you enjoy the beautiful lake in whatever way you wish to. We had a marvelous day and he was one of the main reasons, it was such an amazing time! Thank you for everything Massimo ❤️ Your “cousins” in Montana

    Communication with Captain Massimo ran smoothly. He was very welcoming, asked about our interests for the day and acted upon them. He has so much knowledge about the lake and its surroundings, and he kept the fun facts coming as we loved hearing them! He showed us the little gems, gave us time to relax, we got off to visit the beautiful gardens of the museum, went for a dip in the water and were able to rinse off with clean water on the boat. Honestly, I would recommend Captain Massimo and his boat Crissi for a day at Lake Como. He is funny, kind and gentlemanly. Massimo, thank you for the stories, the fun and the laughter. We have made memories to cherish, thanks to you! Wishing you the best!!

    Massimo was amazing. His wealth of knowledge of the area (not only the facts but the interesting stories about the lake) was great and informative. He was flexible with our wishes for the day and took us to a great restaurant for lunch. Our day with Massimo on the lake was a highlight of our trip to Lake Como. We will definitely be back and will book a trip with Massimo again!

    We could not have been happier with our day on Massimo’s boat. His communication was excellent during the booking process and especially when the day approached. On the day he and Marco were brilliant. They were great with our kids, gave us a great and informative tour of the lake with many laughs along the way. Highly recommended. ?

    We had an excellent experience with Massimo on the boat. Massimo is a very kind man who tailored the boat trip to our wishes. He showed us all interesting spots around the lake and shared interesting anecdotes with us. The communication with him prior to the trip was open and clear. I can fully recommend Massimo and will book him again once we come back to Lake Como.
