Founded in 2023 by three partners passionate about showcasing Lake Como from a unique perspective, Lake Como Heritage offers a refined and unforgettable way to discover the lake’s architectural and natural wonders. “From the very beginning, the response has been excellent. Our clients are drawn to the idea of experiencing the lake aboard a vintage boat,” says Daniele, one of the founders.
To stand out from other tour operators and provide an elegant alternative for the many tourists who flock to Lake Como each summer, Lake Como Heritage chose a Boesch 580 Acapulco from 1971. Boesch Boats, the prestigious Swiss company, has been crafting high-performance wooden boats with classic styling for over 90 years. “It’s a luxury boat, but also very sporty and easy to handle. Because it’s small, we can host a maximum of four guests—this makes every tour intimate and exclusive,” explains Daniele.
Departing from Menaggio, Lake Como Heritage offers three curated experiences to explore the most iconic locations on the lake’s western branch. The Panoramic Tour is ideal for admiring scenic highlights, including historic villas and breathtaking views. The Historical Tour (two hours) offers a deep dive into the legends, stories, and landmarks that shaped the region. The Exclusive Tour allows guests to fully customize their experience according to personal tastes, with a sparkling finale featuring champagne on board. Among the most requested stops? The legendary villas that have served as backdrops for international films—like Villa La Gaeta and Villa del Balbianello—as well as charming lakeside villages such as Bellagio and Varenna.
