Rental Boat Tour of Lake Como
Take control of your own boat and explore Lake Como at your own pace on this self-guided rental experience. You'll captain your private vessel across the lake's crystal-clear waters, discovering historic villas, charming villages, and natural landmarks without following a set schedule.
Your boat rental begins at Sant'Agostino su Lungo Lario Trieste dock with a brief orientation before you set off independently. The route takes you past the Voltiano Lighthouse and Temple, dedicated to physicist Alessandro Volta, and along shores lined with grand residences including Villa la Rotonda and Villa Olmo. You'll cruise past elegant Cernobbio with its famous villas like Villa Erba and Villa D'Este, then continue to peaceful Borgo di Moltrasio and Borgo di Laglio, where actor George Clooney owns a lakeside home.
One of the highlights is the striking Ravine of Nesso, where a waterfall cascades directly into the lake, creating a perfect swimming spot. On the opposite shore, you'll see Villa Pliniana in Torno, the modern Hotel Il Sereno, and historic properties in Blevio including Villa Rocca Bruna. Your self-guided tour concludes near Villa Geno with its impressive fountain marking your return to Como city.
