Lake Como By Boat
Roberto of Lake Como By Boat
This is a private tour service starting off from Argegno and offered by a single individual in his capacious and comfortable boat. His description goes as follows:
The boat takes the origins from a traditional fishing boat, which was born from Positano in the Sorrento Peninsula. Its humble sea origins and wood’s sparkle, with which it was created, are an irresistible attraction for lovers of boat tours. Visiting Lake Como on board of a typical Mediterranean boat definitely gives to your tour a touch of authenticity and style.
The maximum capacity to fully enjoy the boat is 5 people plus myself, the bench at the stern is covered by comfortable cushions to fully enjoy the experience with total visibility of the shores and the beautiful landscapes, and if you like, the freedom to lie down and enjoy the sun over the very large bow area. Soft drinks are offered on board and a bottle of Prosecco with snacks will be also available.
