Lake Maggiore Private Tour Borromean Heritage and Scenic Views

About this activity

A whole 1987 Italian vintage cruiser to yourselves: ten metres of classic lines, teak decks and white leather in the cockpit, refitted to run quiet. No shared departures, no crowds — just your group (up to 8) and a local skipper who knows where the light falls at six, which bay is out of the wind, and which island stories are true. Leave from whichever pier suits you — Stresa, Baveno, Pallanza, Feriolo or Laveno — at the hour you choose: no fixed timetable. From the baroque terraces of Isola Bella to the clifftop hermitage of Santa Caterina, the medieval Cannero castles and the quiet villa shores of the Verbano, this is Lake Maggiore the way it’s meant to be seen — from the water, glass in hand. Wine (18+), chilled water and soft drinks on board, towels ready for a swim.
