About the experience

Let time slow down as you glide across the shimmering waters of Lake Maggiore aboard the legendary Riva Super Ariston. This half-day cruise invites you to step into a world of elegance, tranquility, and breathtaking beauty—perfectly crafted for those who want to indulge in a relaxed yet unforgettable lake experience.

Departing from the picturesque town of Stresa, the cruise gently leads you through the most iconic sights of the Borromean Gulf. First, marvel at the ornate splendor of Isola Bella, where its grand palace and formal gardens seem to float on the water. Then continue to the peaceful Isola Madre, where exotic plants and calm shorelines offer a serene setting for a scenic pause. Stop at Isola dei Pescatori, the only inhabited island, where you can stroll through its charming streets or enjoy a lakeside aperitivo. Finally, the boat will cruise toward the eastern shore to admire Santa Caterina del Sasso, a hermitage clinging to the cliffs, offering both history and dramatic views. Along the way, there’s time to relax, take a dip in a secluded bay, sip a glass of prosecco, or simply lounge in the sun.

What makes this experience truly exceptional is the vessel itself: the Riva Super Ariston. Considered the "Rolls-Royce of the water," it blends impeccable design, hand-polished mahogany, and classic Italian flair. Unlike crowded group tours or modern fiberglass boats, this vintage gem offers privacy, refinement, and a sensory journey into a golden age of travel. Every moment on board is personalized—the captain adapts the rhythm and route to your preferences, whether you wish to linger by a favorite island or find a peaceful cove away from the crowds. It’s more than sightseeing; it’s a lifestyle experience, where timeless elegance meets natural splendor. For couples, families, or friends seeking an exclusive, slow-paced escape, this half-day tour is pure lakefront luxury.

    We had a fantastic time with Raffaele! I highly recommend his service. For a nice day out on the lake I recommend going for a swim by Isola Madre (Riva’s work well for swimming), lunch at Verbano st the Pescarore island and visit to the Palazzo at Isola Bella. We were two adults - Raffaele’s Riva would comfortably fit max 3 adults (plus Skipper) in my opinion. Best Tomi
