About the experience

Escape to the timeless allure of Lake Como aboard our classic Bruno Abbate Primatist 23, a true gem from 1980 that blends vintage charm with an authentic Italian boating experience. This isn't just a lake tour; it's your personalized, extensive journey to discover Como's most iconic villas and breathtaking natural wonders in expansive style.

Your exclusive 4-hour tour begins as we gracefully depart, heading first towards the enchanting village of Varenna, admiring its colorful waterfront and charming alleys from the water. We'll then cruise across to Menaggio, a vibrant town nestled on the western shore.

Our journey continues past the picturesque village of Tremezzo, leading us to the majestic Villa Balbiano, followed by the world-renowned Villa Balbianello, offering spectacular views from the lake. You’ll also glimpse the exclusive Villa Cassinella before we arrive at the dramatic Orrido di Nesso, a natural gorge with a stunning waterfall. Further along, we'll admire the historic Villa Pliniana and the charming village of Torrno, before passing by the famous Villa Clooney and the picturesque Villa La Punta.

Our extended exploration will also take us to the elegant Cernobbio, home to the grand Villa d'Este and the luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel, offering glimpses of unparalleled lakeside opulence. Throughout your comprehensive cruise, stay refreshed with complimentary towels, crisp wine, various soft drinks, and refreshing water, ensuring every moment is perfectly comfortable.

What truly sets this Bruno Abbate Primatist 23 tour apart is its unique blend of classic Italian heritage, unparalleled extensive exploration, and a highly personalized, intimate experience. Unlike larger, more modern boats that offer a standard route, our vintage 1980 Primatist 23 exudes a soulful character and authentic charm that connects you deeply with Como's rich history and timeless elegance.

The generous four hours allow for a truly comprehensive discovery of the lake's treasures, enabling us to pause longer for the perfect photo opportunity or explore more hidden coves and famous landmarks that larger vessels often miss. Designed for smaller groups, this allows for unparalleled flexibility, with the boat's nimble size granting access to secluded nooks and unique perspectives.

This bespoke approach, combined with the distinctive style of a classic Italian motorboat and the thoughtful amenities, transforms a simple lake outing into a truly unique and memorable encounter with Lake Como's celebrated beauty, offering an experience far beyond the ordinary.
